The Sony Playstation 3 generated more revenue on the Playstation network than both Xbox 360 and Wii combined.

Oh WOW if this is true!

 

[schuelma]

They're up

 

[Kolgar]

It's nearly 12am here in the UK and i'm debating with myself whether I should go to bed or not. Help!

Coupla' months back, I drove home like a madman at 5 p.m. CT to see the numbers posted at GAF. Three hours later, butkus.

If you have a busy day tomorrow, give it 15 more minutes and then go to bed.

 

[Creamium]

damn the forum is incredibly slow now. Or is it just me?

 

[jonabbey]

Oh WOW if this is true!

Seems like there are surprisingly few Wiis and XBox 360's hooked up and contributing revenue to PSN, see.

[C4Lukins]

Oh WOW if this is true!

I doubt that is even close to true. I would guess that the Oblvion expansion alone could have generated more then the entire PSN network.

Are Juice's numbers right? 110K for PS3?

Kaz, I thought you said PS3 was "the bomb," not that it would bomb!

Code blue! Code blue! Seriously, we're talking life support. This is amazing and mind-blowing, or it was until Kaz uttered those fateful words, "Five-hundred ninety-nine U.S. dollars."

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

That said, Sony, how about showing me some PS3 Wipeout?

[sonycowboy]

My worst month ever. SW I didn't do too badly minus missing the Baseball titles and Def Jam (and Spectrobes)

This is going to be a hell of a month.

1) My HW Predictions:
NDS 450k 58k
Wii 350k 91k
PS2 325k 45k
360 280k 80k
PSP 230k 50k
PS3 175k 45k
GBA 160k 12k
GCN 30k 10k
Xbox 500

2) My SW Predictions
1) God of War 2 (PS2)
2) Ghost Recon: AW 2 (360)
3) Wii Play (Wii)
4) Guitar Hero 2 (360)
5) Crackdown (360)
6) Diddy Kong Racing (NDS)
7) GTA: Vice City Stories (PS2)
8) Motorstorm (PS3)
9) Guitar Hero 2 (PS2)
10) Zelda (Wii)

3) Ioi/Broshnat/VGCharts.org/vgchartz.com - completely putting their credibility on the line.

Now providing estimated weekly sales for NA. Someone can compare his results to NPD.

4) Storylines for the month, IMO
a) PS3 still bottoming out (HW)?
b) DS & Wii continuing their monster tear (HW)?
c) God of War PS2. Is the platform still viable for big hits?
d) Motorstorm PS3. Was it sent to die? Or can it do > 100k?
e) Guitar Hero 360. One weeks sales, looks to be huge.
f) PS2 HW - When does the decline begin?
g) 360 HW - When does the ascension begin?

5) Numbers to be posted ~ 6:30PM EST

Well if you nailed it, then I nailed it right between the eyes

System | Sold | Prediction    | Difference

360	199	261,853 (262k)  +63
PS3	130	153,463 (153k)	+23

Total difference			278k (265k without GCN/Xbox)

Generally, I over-estimated the five-week boost and greatly under-estimated the Wii shortages.

Notes:
1) As I've mentioned before, if you don't predict for a console, I assume you think it will sell zero units. That's why it really helps to predict for all of the main seven consoles.
2) If you have the same difference as the guy ranked ahead of you, it's probably safe to assume that you're actually tied to the guy ranked ahead of you.

All the work is Muchly Appreciated BTW...

You're welcome.

Edit:
As the entire rankings are up, it's worth noting that the next highest rank after 83 for someone who didn't predict all seven main consoles is #109. Therefore, only one person in the top 108 didn't predict for all seven main consoles.
