P-S-3 sells more
Wii and Microsoft both cry
Wait, why do I care?
Fernando Rocker @ Nov 24th 2007 2:08PM
P-S-3 sales drope 30%
Please... undesrtand...
The PS3 sales are because: Price cut, white PS3 and bundled with Dinasty Warriors 6.
It's exactly the same as when the PSP outsold the DS Lite for two weeks, because of the redesing and the Final Fantasy games.

DYNASTY WARRIORS
Jon @ Nov 24th 2007 2:27PM
And I bet you there were only 36,230 Wii's in Japan last week.
Nintendo can only sell as many Wii's as are on store shelves.
Silent Xenocide @ Nov 25th 2007 2:35PM
When is Dynasty Warriors 6 coming out in North America?
charleytony @ Nov 24th 2007 2:04PM

Will the world ever be the same ?

Ok guys. It's not that funny.
name123 @ Nov 24th 2007 2:16PM
If Sony adds DivX to the PSP too, that could end the DS's domination. Okay, maybe not, but I hope they add it anyway.
ShortFuse @ Nov 24th 2007 3:18PM
X264 > XviD
either way you're going tor encode it again because of the resolution. PSP has native support for h264. no need to hack.
Robotochan @ Nov 24th 2007 6:50PM
XviD is far more common to people who acquire their viewing material by means other than Disc and Television ;) Nothing worse than having to wait 20 mins for your episode to encode to another format...
ShortFuse @ Nov 26th 2007 3:48PM
@Robotochan
Yes, because everything you download is already is 480x272 resolution. /sarcasm
Either way, you have to recode it.
DBuck_Eye @ Nov 24th 2007 2:19PM
Weren't we supposed to be putting Haiku's in the comments section? Furthermore, aren't haiku's supposed to revolve around nature, and aren't videogames manmade (not nature)?
Mr Khan @ Nov 24th 2007 2:35PM
Nature Haiku is one category of Haiku
There is also Heart, general (dealing with anything) and one other that i cannot recall
Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING) @ Nov 24th 2007 2:31PM
I wonder if the Japanese like Smash Bros. like we do over here... Maybe that will boost Wii sales.
This PS3 increase could stay there, the price drop might have helped quite a bit.
Mr Khan @ Nov 24th 2007 2:33PM
I believe they do
Correct me if i'm wrong, but Melee was the only GC title to break 1 million in Japan
Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING) @ Nov 24th 2007 2:42PM
Yep, It is true, it's the only million seller. Also the next one down is Mario Party 4 {cringe}

Mr Khan @ Nov 24th 2007 2:39PM
My guess is that PS3 will mimic PSP in that it will level off at a higher level than it was pulling before the price-drop and new color, although most likely at a level still lower than that of the Wii
Matbluvenger @ Nov 24th 2007 2:41PM
Haiku's can be fun
But sometimes they don't make sense

Bah I saw that on a sweatshirt the other day.

Something to do with nature
I can't do better

motang @ Nov 24th 2007 2:50PM
Wow...16,000 less than the week before (16% down for the PS3), that got to suck hard!
ill trooper @ Nov 24th 2007 5:22PM
Yeah, the Wii used to sell more too.
motang @ Nov 24th 2007 6:12PM
Yeah I agree, the only thing(s) that seem to be selling are portable systems.

Why are these numbers different from these:
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=176131
which one should I trust more?
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Nov 24th 2007 3:24PM
Joystiq since they have a source.
I generally trust sites that give legitimate sources.

If Nintendo will not improve their game line - I'm afraid even me would have to buy a PS3...
At moment (esp in Europe) Wii games are sparse and overpriced. Well, there is pile of the Mario junk - but games are sparse. Zack & Wiki didn't yet reached EU. Many PS2/PSP ports to Wii cost here - unlike US's $29.99 - flat 59.99€...
For 60€ I'd rather buy mediocre PS3 game than over-hyped Wii game...

now for a haiku.
I don't know where my inspiration comes from sometimes.
rokobungi @ Nov 24th 2007 4:49PM
PS3 now wins?
American charts say NO!
Wii are all shipped here.
monkeymonkeymonkey @ Nov 24th 2007 7:14PM
KI rules!
Are the sales number that are posted each week US only or is this Worldwide?
