Re: Official October sales numbers (Wii barrels ahead, 360 still stron
Having the PS3 sales be stagnant is good for Sony IMO. Obviously they want to have a huge surge, but in the midst of the biggest game for 360 to date, having sales stay where they have been is not bad. Not good, but not bad. I would expect sales to climb huge for the PS3 this holiday season. Wii can't possibly do better, but with supplies still low, you never know. I really don't know what to expect for hardware sales of the 360. The huge surge from Halo could mean less holiday sales for hardware, but more for software, but on the other hand there are some other great titles coming out, so who knows.

Re: Official October sales numbers (Wii barrels ahead, 360 still stron
ok, found it
galaxy sold only 256k in japan in first week sunshine sold 280k in japan in first week so it isn't doing too hot there right now however, i go to 4 points: a) casual owners of wii that may buy galaxy aren't looking for its release date and buying it on the day it comes out b) people who bought gamecube just for sunshine back then couldn't do the same here...wiis are sold out so everyone couldn't just go to store to buy wii+galaxy...so that will also lower the numbers over sunshine c) it was only four days, 11/1-11/4, not an entire week d) this is JAPAN, which is not a good indicator of the rest of the world...they don't like console gaming as much as handheld gaming...look at their console game sales today compared to console game sales 5-10 years ago...they do most of their gaming on ds/psp, not wii/ps3...in US, Gamestop alone had 400k preorders for Galaxy galaxy will sell many more copies than sunshine did in the long-run...maybe not first week, but first month or two and from then on |
