Sales report: Tales from the other side of the counter – Xmas edition

Games Digest, December 23, 2007:

The traditional holiday rush has reached its peak, and finally folks seem to be more eager to stay at home in the warm, rather than brave the high street to nab that last pair of socks for granddad.

From the other side of the counter – the poor sods working their fingers to the bone for barely any more than minimum wage – things have been a little intriguing, and a whole heap frustrating.

[ This is a sales report from front-line store employees in the UK. ]

1.1 - excerpt from tanod

"I dont post inflammatory news from XBOX KINGS like POG/RP

i dont approve any flamebait too

i dont post misleading and FALSE news like HD DVD outselling BD at AMAZON

i dont post anti x360 news

Those ROUND PEG/TNS/BLOODMASK report all stories that are a TAD AGAINST HD DVD despite their VALID ORIGINS and

AT THE SAME TIME XBOTS like BLOODMASK AND ROUNDPEG approve ARTICLES at N4G which are infact written by them"

but as I said..you like to spam your opinion....3 postings with you saying the exact same thing and spouting your propaganda...which makes you worst them them tanod/nasim/hotshot127/shmee.. .

3 - From the article

"As for the PS3, the rush after the still fairly recent price-cut slowly calmed down and current sales are neck-and-neck with the Premium 360."
Doesn't sound good

yeah, for the 360. With all its "AAA" titles and the "lack of games" for the PS3, neck and neck is unacceptable. Or Sad. Or funny. I'll let you decide.

Well for Europe being former Playstation Nation, it IS unacceptable for the PS3.

Especially when we've seen a 33% price drop within 6 months for the PS3 from 600 to 400 Euro now, imagine what will happen if the 360 gets it's price drop.

The 360 only dropped from 399 to 349 (on the Premium). Imagine if the Premium becomes 279 to 299 Euro.

Head on with the PS3 in Europe, a massive slaughter in USA, the PS3 is sold out world wide with large numbers again

"As for the PS3, the rush after the still fairly recent price-cut slowly calmed down"

That means, after Christmas, the same situation as with the July price drop, to the situation like it was before the first price drop. In 3rd place, not being able to hold up.

If the 360 gets its 2nd price drop, the PS3 will be left behind again also in Europe, as it already is far behind in America.

5.2 - I'm amazed with this generation...

Since when has handhelds sold been in the same league as consoles sold? Handhelds will continue to outsell consoles at their (consoles) price point. Not all parents are willing to drop $400+ on consoles.

Only because of stupid stupid stupid un-educated parents going for the cheapest one, because they think all 3 concoles are basically the same. I hear it all the time in my own family. They soon learn never to say "they're all the same to me", when I'm in the room - I quickly put them in line.

7 - Uncharted Issues?

It's funny anyone mentions issues with sales for Uncharted, I went to pick it up and I only found one on the shelf... hidden sideways with some other misc. titles out of order. I had checked on it's availability at another store and I couldn't find it on the shelf, though they said they were selling it... weird.

8 - All I know is the 360

has been steady selling. Ps3's price-cut is barly making such difference.

remember the 360 is the leader in terms of sales and if you wanna take over the leader you need to work harder at the numbers or sell + X amount then the leader, not be satisfied with a neck and neck.

Especially when MS has not slashed much prices..

you ps3 fanboy buffoons thats how you take a lead.
