They still didn’t though. Next week, I am waiting for it though .

NPD first though, and 360 will outsell PS3 for damn sure. Nice pricecut excellent fall lineup.

If Psycho’s right, yeah. Might have to stay up next week to see.

In fact, I think I will.

Heh. “360 outsells PS3 in Japan”. The headline no one ever thought they’d write.

Looks like 5,500, or there abouts, is the 360′s new level of sales over there. Better, but not exactly setting the world alight.

Looks like Vesperia did 70k games and 10k bundles first day. Unless the PS3 gets a bump you’ll likely see the 360 outdo it on hardware next week.

Seems MS should have provided a few more bundles… but I guess they didn’t want to take the risk.

“What I find weird is that roughly the same amount of people buy them every week. How does that happen?”

You know, I often wonder about that myself. I’m sure it makes perfect mathematical sense, but there’s so little movement in the average sales, it’s spooky to look at.

It’s out, yeah. People queued up for it, and everything.

Isn’t Vesperia out this week? Be interesting to see how the 360 does hardware-wise off the back of that.

It’s going to be funny if it does happen.

DIY’s rubbish. Videogaming news on the internet’s where it’s at.

How many weeks until the PS2 starts outselling the PS3 again, then? I’m thinking… two or three.

Morning, by the way. I’m not staying, just called in. Still on me hols. Got stuff to do. DIY and that. Bugger.

I don’t understand why those things keep selling. Do they all break? Hmm.. guess the simple answer is there’s such a lot of people.

I just dissed myself.
