I feel bad for the 192,000 who got their 360's just before the price cut. :p

Ouch! Tonnes of people would of been holding back on the 360s price cut and MS even mentioned a 100% increase in sales since - so ps3 is going to be light years behind in September's console sales.

Yeah, I imagine that a lot of people were waiting in August and will now pick one up since the price drop.

Is NPD global or NA only?

US only (the Xbox strongest region). That's why NPD is not really that representitive of what is happening elsewhere (360 is getting slaughtered by Wii and PS3 in sales).

Looks like UK retailer is clearing down it's stocks of 360, in preparation of dumping it..
I remember when Woolworths in the UK had a firesale to get rid of surplus HD DVD stock.

This sounds very similar. Perhaps the begining of the end of Woolworths stocking Xbox, due to abysmal Euro sales...

You post an article about HD DVD to illustrate your point that the PS3 is doing better in Europe? That's grasping at straws there bud.

The article says that Madden did well across ALL platforms, which isn't correct at all. The 360 reined supreme with over 1 million sold, the PS3 did about 600,000 (respectable), but the Wii only managed to get 150,000... sad when you think about how many Wii's are out there. Obviously, the Wii crowd couldn't care less about Madden.

10,000 is nothing to brag about, shoot the PS3 has been murdering the 360 this whole year... and when christmas comes and people are buying blu ray players, the PS3 is the best

It kind of shows the level of paranoia PS3 owners have when they're saying "10k is nothing to brag about" when nobody's bragging.

Then they go on to say "the PS3's been murdering the 360 all year," yet, other than the month MGS4 was released, the PS3 has been winning by between 10-20k. So, a 10k advantage is only "murdering" the competition when it's the PS3 doing it to the 360, I suppose.

This stuff is priceless!!!

To put things in perspective, if the ps3 were to continue to barely outsell the 360 at a pace of 15k consoles per week, than sony's console would finally catch up to the 360 in terms of sales roughly around the spring of 2015. Lets check the math: 15k consoles a week times 52 weeks a year equals 780,000 consoles a year. It would take 6 and a half years at this pace for sony to close the 5+ million unit lead that microsoft is currently holding. I actually own both machines and think that they each, in their own way,offer unique experiences. But this race is over. Maybe it is time for Sony to start thinking about next-next-gen.

It's not surprising that ps3 sales have slumped. It's an awful console. We've got both consoles in my flat. All we use the PS3 for is playing blue ray and high stakes poker.

For the price of a PS3 you can buy a 360 and a blue ray player!

After that you'll have a console with a really big user base, far superior arcade games, more exclusive games, and most of the games running better.

Not only that but sony aren't really on any moral highground over microsoft, they produced a stupid shape console. It feels plasticy
