Ouch at PS3. =\

I can't believe how the PS2 GH2 is still selling. Harmonix has created an (awesome) monster.

Soygen · 06-14-2007, 06:25 PM

Shit, the PS2 itself is still selling like crazy. Got those number Chris?

Not yet, the reports are that PSP outsold PS2/PS3/360, so if I had to peg a guess at PS2 numbers expect between 150k-200k.

Hopefully Sony's PR will shed light on a few more #s. I'll keep my eye out.

221k for the psp

price drop helped......

and the xbox360- geez what happened?

the ps3 i expected to be about where it was, but, were alot of people looking for a price drop from the 360?

wii beat it by almost 200 thousand last month

360 REALLY shocked me. With Forza coming out, I thought it would really boost sales. Really not sure what to think although historically, these are slow months. The Wii and DS are actually going way against the grain by selling big. The PSP's increased numbers were due to a price drop and any PS2 sales are attributed to it's microscopic price by comparison.

I guess I just expected the 360 to go a little stronger.

360 is 20 months without a pricedrop. They've nearly sold to all the consumers who want a $400 console by now.

Doesn't help that the Elite effectively raised the introductory price of the 360.

Zarcath · 06-14-2007, 07:27 PM

waiting for the supposed price drop before i get a 360.

Nakilos · 06-14-2007, 07:39 PM

I sort of hate hearing the 360 is doing well, because I can't bring myself to buy it. I'm really bitter about the Xbox as I consider it one of the biggest wastes of money I ever made buying a console.

I thought so too, but then I bought a 360 and life was worth living again.*

*slight exaggeration

But honestly, the 360 is a quality console that forgives most of the mistakes of the original piece of shit xbox.

Lenardo · 06-14-2007, 08:03 PM

of the 2 HD consoles, the 360 is the better of the two currently.

better games, and lower price with essentially the same graphical ability= better console

"3. Spider-Man 3—PS2—Activision"

what the fuck?

Akileese · 06-14-2007, 08:16 PM

as god awful as it may be, it still sells a lot.

Ninajrr · 06-14-2007, 08:53 PM

Spider Man 3 takes 3rd for the same reason Mario Party 8 takes second.
