This is interesting to see, PSP sales have reached 2nd place with over 66,000 sold. The DS is still first but appears to have sold about 25,000 less from the the last reading I saw from 136,000. It's also surprising to see that PS3 sales have reached 44,000 from around 30,000.

not only that, since ps2 is 129.99, the ps3 is beating it witch cost 599.99, lot more then 360, proves to show that microsoft is lossing badly. i already see 360 pile-ups, and pretty soon huge signs are going to say "please buy are freakin 360!!!"
really micro is just relying on halo 3 & gears of wars.
i have also noticed that iv seen more blue-rays dvds on sale and i rarely see any hd-dvd's, goes to show you microsoft is starting to already fail, ill be surpised to see another xbox, and lets hope there is no xbox portable i dont want a handheld setting my pant in flames lol, im not a fan boy or anything but really microsoft should just drop out and leave nintendo and sony be. i know i might get yelled at from fanboys and stuff so w/e.

First, getting the Wii, or 360. Then, the mighty PS3...when the software for PS3, has been improved over 360.

[Cheatsurfer]

Lmao, just proof that Sony, who many said was the "market leader" has been in second place for the last 6 years. Guess who's back baby? :D

The Xbox 360 doesn't suck just because another system is outselling it. That would mean the Nintendo DS Lite is bettter than all three Next Generation consoles put together. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 both have qualities that make them a good system. The Playstation 2 has many games as a result of many years of availablity. The Xbox 360 has hit titiles such as Halo and Gears of War. Playstation 2 is high quality games for a low price. Xbox 360 is next gen games for a next gen price.

Wouldn't it make sense that the Xbox 360 is outselling the PS3 because the Xbox 360 has been out for a year longer.

---The bottom line is that neither company is creating a partial vacuum with their mouths.---

Hey, I've seen many PS3 stockpiles in stores. Some stores where I'm at have 5 or 6 at a time. That means no one is buying them. Same thing with Xbox 360 though.

I prefer HD-DVD's compared to Blu-ray (but I prefer DVD's more than both of them)
Some people that are less technology literate will see the name "HD-DVD" and see DVD and High Definition. Then they will see Blu-Ray and wonder what the heck that is.

That's quite good for 1 week of sales in Japan, I wanna see the worldwide figures...

...Cause I doubt that the sales except from the Wii Xbox360 PS3 PSP and DS will differ too much
