McNealy and the Sunday last big retail push |
Ó
The last big push. Sunday, December 17, 2006. The last big push for retail sales before Christmas in the U.S. - and probably in Canada too (any Canadians out there want to verify this?). For the video game industry, this means this is the last weekend to really focus on next-gen console sales before Christmas.PS3s and PS2s. If Paul-Jon "PJ" McNealy of American Technology Research (market/sales analyst) was right, then there's very little about the PS3 in this weekend's circulars because retailers would rather focus on the PS2 (which is still doing very well). Still, he expects that 800,000 to 900,000 PS3 units will be sold by the end of the year.
Wii. PJ McNealy calls it one of the hottest toys for this holiday in North America. He expects sales between 1.3 million and 1.5 million Wii consoles by the end of the year (we're assuming he's talking about North America or U.S. sales because the Wii has exceeded 2 million units sold worldwide).
Xbox 360. According to McNealy, the Xbox should reach its target of 10 million units sold by the end of the year.
Software. He rates software publisher Electronic Arts ahead of Activision, THQ, and Take-Two Interactive because EA is "benefiting from the strong PS2 catalog sales, as well as from its line-up of holiday Xbox 360 titles."
So we'll see you guys tonight after you've spent your whole day frantically rushing from mall or outlet to another. Good luck.
And for those of you who took PJ McNealy seriously earlier this week and decided to camp out, welcome back to the land of the living. How was the camp out, and did you get what you lined up for?
Finally, if you're looking for PS3s, and you still don't have one at the end of the day... well, don't you agree that odds are slim that you'll find one before Christmas? Today is the last big push, after all - and if you don't get one today, it currently looks doubtful (but not impossible) that major retailers will get another shipment of PS3s before Christmas.

Less then 2 weeks to sell 1 million units?
Unless they have some really killer game coming out in the next couple days I dont see it happening.
The Wii can do well since its highly in demand.
And well the PS3 will probably sell 1 million by the end of Dec.
Actually 3 millions of 360 need to sold by 2 weeks
(vgcharts.org)
regardless if its 1 million or 3 million, selling them in 2 weeks wont be possible especially since the Demand for the Xbox360 is at an all time low thanks to the PS3 and Wii.
Saturday, December 16th is Canada's largest retail push before Christmas. There were lots of people lined out friday night and into saturday morning throughout my city for Wii's. Between those two days, without actually looking for one, I came across 4 PS3's.
PFFFFFFFFTTTT!! ! Man i got my Wii the day it came out, and to anyone reading this and does NOT have a Wii, take my advice....GET ONE, they are loads of fun, remember the last time you had fun? Well get ready to experience it again, Just be sure to get a game when you buy the Wii because after 4 weeks of playing Wii Sports, It gets boring, then just go ahead and sell it, when you play another game you will never pick it up again.
(P.S. Im talking about selling Wii Sports not the Wii)
And remember Have a NIce Day!
Metroid Killer
You know it really is possible to have fun on other consoles. I love playing on my Wii just as much as anyone, but I can have loads of fun on my PS3 as well.
I'm so glad you know what's best for everyone...
well some people arent that rich but hey like i have said before Death to PS3
Nintendo PWNS
Objection!
Clearly you can see that this person isn't stating any facts, and just chatting on a subject they are not an expert in...
Take That!
Wait, Me Or the other????? Maybe both heck i dont know.
