the north american media dont like a jap company to be number 1 and beating a american company!! we dont see much of an attack against the 360 although it have as much problems as the ps3!!

about the 300% increase in sales i think its true but i think they where comparing it to the day before blackfriday!! if u think of it it makes sense!! 300% increase to true but i think they meant to the days before B/F!!

EDIT
who disagree with me?? show ur self! its true wat i said!!

I've been at my local Best Buy several times in the past few weeks, and there are NO Wiis, NO 360s, but plenty of PS3's. This also reflects the same situation at my local Wal-Mart and Circuit City. It's quite possible that the PS3 is selling well (I hope so, so that there are more people on PSN), but I'm going based off of what my eyes see. And that is that there are plenty of PS3s to be had in my neck of the woods.

Sony might shipped to many PS3 to retailers..They going to make sure to have plenty of PS3 out for the holidays..I am sure other retailers in NA sold good amount of PS3..

I went to my local Walmart yesterday and saw both the 40g and 80g in stock, but I also saw the 360 arcade and premium. No no elite's and definatly no Wii's in sight.

I just looked at the authors bio Husso...and he only owns a PS3. Plus his other articles are pro pro Sony. Like "Uncharted on the Xbox360: Not Bloody Likely!" So I think you're wrong.

Why is it only about the PS3??? Absolutely no store had a special discount on ANY consoles on black friday in my area. What, they are expecting people to wait in line at 5:00 a.m for a store to open so they can pick up a $70 item at half price, then, on the spur of the moment, buy a $400 console that is not on sale???

Even games were not on sale. Well, not more than usual. So that could have been the incentive. Go to the store, get the game for $10 less, so you buy the $400 console???

I'm sorry, but guy who write article about the fact consoles are not selling well on black friday have no idea what black friday is all about. Must not have purchasing power, so I'm assuming kids, 16 or younger. Not that they could not write good articles, but they should refrain from writing about the fact that a $400 console should sell well, even if it's not on sale, on black friday.

Who knows, I may be wrong, maybe somewhere in the corner of a little state, there was a true black friday PS3 sale. Let me know if any of you picked up one at half price last friday, and I'll retract.

Otherwise, having stock in store right now is just a good thing. I'm sure Nintendo would like the shelves full of Wiis right now. Christmas is around the corner. Marketing wise, you want to grab as much floor space as you can NOW... During december, everything is about floor space. Even your warehouse space is precious. So personally, if really Sony has already stocked all the big chain to the roof like many people think, then they did an awesome job. If the consoles are still there after Christmas, then we will know if they have a problem. But convincing store managers to get pallets of consoles during the time of the year where every square inches in so precious, I'm sorry, but it's Sony 1, and the others 0...

I wish people would stop saying things like they were out of stock here and there when its about the difference of how much they had originally and now. Let's just wait for the NPD numbers.

I was on Amazon yesterday and also noticed the best seller list but here's something I found more interesting. The 80G version is selling better then the 40G version.

Whether or not that because one comes with a game while the other a movie I don't know. Also could be because the 40G has no backward compatibility. Any thoughts?

Your statement "lets face it
the north american media dont like a jap company to be number 1 and beating a american company!!" is simply untrue a stupid as hell!!

Look around you! Every electronic device is made from an Asian country! Americans are not loyal to any brand. They buy with their wallets, not with their "loyalty". We buy whatever we want, no matter who makes it!

Do you live in America? Who's buying all these Wii's and PS3's then?

Agree(6) | Disagree(0) | Report

The Killer - 760 days 22 hours ago

americans buying Asians things only because there is no competition with american product!! USA dont make much of electronics except pc's!!
look at the car examples, in USA u will mostly see american cars although u can find better with jap or EU cars!!
but maybe simply americans loves shooting games and thats y 360 us selling well but u cant deny that there is a huge attack on ps3 from NA media!!

EDIT
about ps3 having few game, please tell me how many so much games for u?? 360 has only bioshock(which is coming next year to ps3) halo 3 and the rest is multiplatform and yes some is even better on ps3(assassin's creed,lost planet) !! and dont bring game that were release in 2006 because they are dead now!!

about the high price then explain to me why the elite is the only 360 sold-out console which is higher in price than the 40GB ps3??

You tend to get alot of heat when you don't deliver what you say you will deliver. Sony talked alot of smack and now they are eating their words. I think the final straw was the price of the system. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it wasn't worth it. It's just quite a bit to pay for a "game console" with very little games (until now).

I never heard anything more idiotic in my life. But thats half true but only vice versa. By the way if your not American, your opnion holds no grounds only idiots would agree with you
( blind Sony fan boys looking for any excuse they can get their hands on)

P.S. Americans buy American cars because we like the style, it's a matter of taste you fool not loyalty.

Here in Sweden, all this sounds pretty strange to us, since the PS3 has never really lost momentum here. I know about ten people that own the console, and far from all of them are hardcore gamers.

Don't really know why this is, but here I've never ever heard anyone complaining about integrated Blu-ray etc. Most people seem to consider the PS3 to be a really good deal, simple as that.

Everybody love to hate the PS3..Even if its doing great in other parts of the world. The ps3 having a big increase in sales in NA but people still wont shut up and try to downplay it like its no big deal and shouldnt be postive news for Sony. The media need to STFU dont they get tired of always writing Shi% about Sony..

Kleptic - 761 days 1 hour ago

while I too have skepticism about the sales...this article does a great job of pointing out that the 360 and Wii are most likely seeing similar increases on their end, which still puts them overall ahead of the PS3...

not sure what he is getting at with Europe though...European numbers have been being released weekly (albeit from sources branded as not accurate)...and it reflects the increases for the PS3, with it consistantly outselling the 360 lately...

either way...this black friday stuf is getting retarded...the only console sold out in my area is the Wii...which is how its always been...the PS3 and 360 are readily available at most retailers, with possibly one SKU of each amiss (Elite sold out somewhere, 40 gig sold out somewhere, etc.)...

PS3 will do fine this christmas...2nd and 3rd shipments of Rockband and AC have all sold out mostly everywhere...where as they are still around for the 360 (mostly due to the 360 getting a much larger initial shipment)...but software wise the PS3 might finally have a good selling season...

Boink - 761 days 5 hours ago

but what the article is saying is that the sales of the other consoles have incresed by the same amount as well.

so does a 300% increase really matter if everyone else goes up 300% as well
