Looks like DS Phat and GBA have been dropped from the chart or else they have registered no sales. Also the Xbox 360 sales were probably pushed up by the release of PGR4 which has clocked in at #25 on this week's Jap games sales chart.

Dont we have an sales thread??
The 360's rise was not because of pgr4 it was due to the launch of the elite

[rahul]

i'd say it was both elites launch and the blockbuster games.. lik some guy from MS said "content is the key"
i can now c his point... (dont take the literal meaning of point u perverts )

SCEA responds to poor September NPD figures

From Joystiq
http://www.ps3fanboy...er-npd-figures/
_________________________________________________________________________

September wasn't a very good month for Sony, especially its PS3. NPD figures show that the system came in dead last, selling 119,400 units. This is less than the PS2 (215,000), the Wii (501,000) and the Xbox 360 (527,800). Granted, Xbox 360's sales were boosted quite significantly due to the launch of the blockbuster Halo 3, with sales of the game reaching a staggering 3.3 million in its first month. Heavenly Sword, in comparison, only sold 139,000 units its first month.

SCEA responds: "According to NPD data, September 2007 was a strong month for the PlayStation brand, which showed a 13% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year in the US with total sales of $337 million for the month."

Sony will have to look towards the future and hope its recent price cut announcement will keep it afloat. "PS3 continues to maintain an overall increase in sales, with 119K units sold at retail for the month. Also, with the new $399 40GB PlayStation 3 SKU hitting store shelves on November 2nd, a new $499 price point for the 80GB model effective immediately, and highly anticipated titles available this holiday, such as Racthet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the PS3 is poised for very strong performance through the holiday season and into 2008."

PS3 sales on par with 360, launches aligned

From Joystiq

__________________________________________________________________________




Is the PS3 really suffering as badly as it seems? Admittedly, it's getting to a slow start, but many forget that the Xbox 360 faced similar challenges during its launch. In fact, when the launches are aligned, the Xbox 360 and PS3 appear to be selling at an equivalent rate. Of course, with the immense amount of negativity surrounding the PS3 from the gaming media, will sales be hurt during this crucial holiday season? The price drop and release of games, such as Ratchet & Clank, will help Sony hopefully keep pace with its major rival.

[HundredProofSam]

^^ and the xbox 360 didnt have a rival next gen console



peace

[MarketTantrik]

^^ Both consoles went through the early adopters phase in a similar manner. What really matters is the respective performances in their second years of release.

lol look at the blue line, climbing its own path, oblivious to the other two cutting each other's throat.

i disagree....many people are holding off on buying the ps3 because they already own a 360 which offers a similar gaming experience....xbox 360 had no such problem



peace

[MarketTantrik]

^^ All those people who held off buying the PS3 initially eventually bought it within a year. These are the early adopters.

you haven't bought one, have you?....are u telling me that if there was no xbox 360 - no gears of war, no halo 3, no mass effect - if u were still stuck with your ps2 and the ps3 came out, u wouldn't buy it right away?

If Sony had come out with a couple of million consoles at launch with another two million by the end of 2006, they would've been in a better situation right now. Most of 400k launch units were sold out on the same night they went on sale.

I am not an early adopter in the strict sense of the word. I bought the X360 two months after its India launch which in itself was a year after the international launch, and that too only after I read the reviews for Gears. Sony launched the PS3 in India very close to its international launch, so the respective launch windows in India are not comparable. If I was an early adopter, I would have done what many members on our forums did, and purchased an NTSC console from abroad or the grey market. The reason, I'm not buying a PS3 now is that there are no exclusive games that I consider a must buy, unlike the time I bought the Xbox 360 for Gears of War. That situation would obviously change when MGS4 / FF XIII are released.
