Media Create: PS2 outsells PS3, PSP outsells PS2 |
Ó
GamePro reports that according to Media Create, for the week of January 22 to 28, sales of the PS2 totaled 20,995 units, while those of the PS3 were 19,996.If in case you're a bit skeptical about the range of their data (come on, it's Media Create!) feel comfort in the knowledge that the research company gets their data from around 3,000 stores across Japan, and then uses that data to estimate nationwide sales across Japan.
Apparently, sales of the PS2 have been so good that Sony increased its shipment target for the PS2 from 11 million units to 13 million units. Some of us here at QJ would like to hastily attribute this sales spike to GTA: San Andreas, which launched in Japan on January 25 and has since topped the charts with an estimated sales of 227,261 units. That's more than double the top ranked DS game.
Nintendo's Wii sold 83,754 units in the week. Microsoft managed get sales of their consoles to increase by around 300 units to 7,365 units. We're thinking GoW had something to do about this.
As expected, the biggest selling piece of hardware was the DS Lite, which sold around 194,526 units against 35,700 units for rival PSP.
Considering all these numbers, it feels a bit odd to point out that the PSP is the Sony hardware that sold the most for the week. Cool.

im first heck yeah!! Yay psp for #1.
"... Sony increased its shipment target for the PS2 from 13 million units to 11 million units." Do you mean increased from 11 million to 13 million?
Thats QJ for ya, half-assed backwards
those numbers are for japan where the ds always sells more than to times more than the psp. in the rest of the world the psp sells are better.
You have to pay $1,500 US to buy a PS3 bundled package (with PSP console and crappy games). Sony is doing crazy things for game addicts. So, European game addicts who lead worthless lives (or should I say those lifeless game addicts whose lives are worth $7 per hour) must pay such amount of money to buy a PS3 console. Way to go, Sony. I can kind of foresee what the PS4’s launch look like. * PS4 Launch Preview in 2015 * Sony says... (1) Since the new PlayStation 4 is so advanced, we could only make only 100 PS4 consoles for the grand worldwide launch. Five days after the console’s launch, people have seen all kinds of news on TV. People have done things like prostituting, killing, driving and shooting and robbery to get hands on a PS4. (2) Because PS4 is too evolved, we have removed all kinds of unnecessary crappy things on the controller. Our new controller will not have the gay rumble function like our ass competitor’s Xbox 450’s controller’s. In fact, we actually removed all those lame-ass buttons and D-pads; moreover, those overrated analog sticks were gone, too. You don’t even have to input your commands by pressing buttons like ancient monkeys. Our new PS4 consoles will play the games by itself; thus, rendering gamers obsoletes. Playing PS4 games is just like watching a movie, and this is the true next-gen gaming experience. (3) Now, this is the year 2015, and screen resolutions like 1080p are so old school; therefore, all PS4 games natively support only 1,000,000 progressive scan resolution. Making games in such high resolution is the number one reason of high game development cost; also, making such high resolution textures and graphics related data will take a very long time. Thus, there will be no PS4 games available until 2020. However, the game addicts don’t have to worry about purchasing PS4 consoles. You will be able to play all those 10 year old PS3 games you owned before. Moreover you can also download 20 year old PS2 games and 30 year old PS1 games via PlayStation Network from day one. (4) Since our ground breaking PS4s can only output screen resolution of 1,000,000p, you must own an HDTV (Hugh Diamond TV), otherwise your PS4s will be unusable. Since these new Hugh Diamond TVs are too advanced for the time being, the first HDTV will be commercially available in 2025; that’s 10 years after the launch of PS4. You game addicted worthless 3rd raters who purchase our PS4 consoles don’t have to worry about anything since our PS4 consoles are made to last for 100 years.
I bet Sony just hates that it has 3 consoles selling "well" right now... And did that loser repost the same garbage in every thread??? TOOL.
nothing but great news to sony, also dont bash the europeans who will spent lots of money just to get a ps3...over here dumb americans threw $2000+ on ebay just for a ps3 and couldnt be patient..dumbasses
"Apparently, sales of the PS2 have been so good that Sony increased its shipment target for the PS2 from 13 million units to 11 million units." Did you mean... "Apparently, sales of the PS2 have been so good that Sony increased its shipment target for the PS2 from million units to million units."
No theyre not , the DS have outsold the PSP in every region by a wide margin , and the number of shipped PSP units went down with 72% last year. http://www.vgcharts.org/ http://psp.ign.com/articles/759/759618p1.html
do do do! XBOX 360
The DS has been shafting the PSP in sales for over a year now in every territory. Even if Sony dropped the PSP's price to $100 it couldn't hope to catch up to the DS' huge lead.
[insert item] : [insert price] [insert item] : [insert price] PS2's undying success: Priceless. There are some things money can't buy, like 360 sales in Japan even with M$'s billions. For everything else, there's MasterCard.
DS outsells PSP...BY A LOT... Which means that people dont really like the PS3 that much. Since they have at least 3 PS3 in every Target store.
