Deftones

so i guess that $299 PS3 honeymoon is over, huh?

The Bus

It's still outselling the 360.

Deftones

still? isn't this only like the 2nd month out of about the last 24 it has?

sales dropped quite a bit from last month. people here were saying now that the drop happened, it'd be selling like gangbusters. i don't really see that in the numbers.

CreatureX

Nice hardware numbers for Nintendo. Those PSP numbers are sad. Looks like the PSP-Go will go down as a flop for Sony.

Fandango

Wii 506.9K (-37% YoY)
NDS 457.6K (-7% YoY)
PS3 320.6K (+69% YoY)
360 249.7K (-33% YoY)
PSP 174.6K (-10% YoY)
PS2 117.8K (-13% YoY)

It is if you compare to a year ago...

fumanstan

Really impressive for Uncharted 2!

As for the PS3... seems to be like what I was saying before a while back. Price cut equals a big boost for that month, and then the sales would trickle back down to earth. I think it will hang steady there because of the Holidays, but I imagine the 360/PS3 sales figures will get even closer in Nov/Dec.

darkside

They needed to release the thing to find that out? They could of literally asked anyone and saved themselves the disaster. No UMD, smaller screen and it costs more? Sony can't really be that stupid can they?

MadonnasManOne

Yes, they can.

That said, I enjoy the heck out of my PS3 and PSP-2000.

Deftones

i'll bet we get a big boost for Xbox this month with COD:MW2 and L4D2 hitting.

Groucho

MW2 is also on the PS3.

Deftones

you don't say!

i don't seem to recall the PS3 having an exclusive system w/ the game packaged in, though. since all projections are this may be one of the top video games of the year and maybe of the past 5-10 in terms of sales, i think a bundle like that will move a bunch of product.

fumanstan

Yeah, I think the MW2 bundle will help given all the hype around the game and those huge single day sales figures, and make it a good seller for the holidays, but I'm not so sure it will be enough to push it past the PS3 in total sales for the month.

I'll be really interested in seeing how MW2 is split between consoles in sales. Look at Borderlands put up big numbers for the 360 but doesn't even chart on the PS3. 360 software sales continue to be stellar, although the NBA 2K10 split is pretty close.

Some figures on DJ Hero and Brutal Legend -

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6239988.html

Brutal Legend (360) - 150,000 units
Brutal Legend (PS3) - 66,000 units
DJ Hero (360) - 62,000 units
DJ Hero (PS3) - 39,000 units
DJ Hero (Wii) - 19,000 units
DJ Hero (PS2) - 3,300 units

Spiderbite

Woah...pretty poor numbers for DJ Hero. They can't be happy with that.

Is Borderlands a 360 exclusive?

Fandango

It's not, Borderlands for PS3 landed just outside the top 10.

fumanstan

Yeah, but to be fair it was only out for 5 days in the month and a $120 game featuring an instrument that most people wouldn't think of playing was a pretty tough sell. I think getting it under $100 might help for the holidays, but definitely a major disappointment.

Tracer Bullet

Percentage changes, month-over-month (from Joystiq: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/12/oc...are-sales-slo/):


Wii: +10%
DS: -13%
PS3: -35%
360: -29%
PSP: -8%
PS2: -19%

So the Wii was the only hardware to get an increase while the PS3 had the biggest drop. So much for the price drop jump-starting sales.

The Bus

Did people expect PS3 sales to be 3× that of the 360? It's beating the 360. What more does it need to do?

Tracer Bullet

As a start? It needs to not have the biggest percentage drop in sales a month after cutting the price by $100.

pinata242

I have a feeling Nov will see a significant jump in 360 sales with all the Wal-Mart and Amazon $100 gift card deals, the MW2 bundle, and the BF deals (Target's $50 gift card, for example).

I haven't seen any PS3 BF deals yet, but I'm sure there'll be something, somewhere.

Great numbers for Borderlands! How did it do on the PC?

Michael Corvin

I dunno. I think this is where MS has Sony in a tight spot. They've been making money on systems so long that they can throw out all kinds of deals. Do people really expect a deal on a PS3 when the price just dropped a $100 a month ago?

pinata242

Didn't MS restructure the 360 prices and offerings after that? Sure, not the Arcade, but the Elite.

Deftones

It sold less than it did last year at a price that's $100 cheaper and less than it did last month. Sure, beating Microsoft is a moral victory for Sony, but at this pace, they can't be happy.

Michael Corvin

Yes but they didn't really drop the price though, more of a 'restructuring' like you said. The 60GB went away and the 120GB took it's place. Much like Sony did with all their hard drive variations before the Slim.
