:lol Holy shit at Sony's PSP estimates.

They're not even going to come close.

Someone should tell them the secret formula that actually having games available for your system helps drive sales. The only PSP game I've bought since Hot Shots came out was GTA.

What were it's November 2001 numbers? And what were the the Nov numbers the previous four years?

The basic problem with your GC/GBA evalutions is you're giving no room for the concept of natural decline, which is what these platforms should be doing at this point... especially compared to PS2 which is still the development darling, still getting the highest profile releases. The fact that GC and especially GBA are holding up as well as they are with the kind of support they're getting is anything but "dissapointing" really.

My comments are based on my expectations and the opportunities that existed.

I think I was hard on all of the platforms except the PSP, which I was surprised by mostly because my expectations were so low. If you were to have asked me how the PSP would do this holiday, I would have been MUCH more than what actually happened.

My absolute biggest disappointment is the PS2. It should have easily been double what it sold.

If Zelda were out, it would have made it seem like the Cube outsold the Xbox because of Zelda.

A rather dissappointing month for hardware. Every system is down YoY and the new systems are not picking up the slack. The Xbox was the biggest drop, but its not too suprising considering the new console and no Halo 2. PS2 probably would have been the worst, had last year not been so bad because of shortages; compare this year to two years ago and ... ouch!

I'm not very impressed with the 360's tie-ratio. When you limit hardware so that only the most hardcore will likely get it, of course you're going to get a huge ratio. If MS limited the supply to only members of TXB, they could have boasted about a 14:1 tie-ratio. Does anyone believe that the 360 could have sold 4 million units of software, had they been able to ship a million hardware units?


I'm most curious as to what replaced Halo 2's 3.3 million units and GTA's 1.5 mill from last year. We know it was LCS or the 360 line up. I have no clue as to what happened.

A ton of 44 dollar GBA units sold through Walmart. Makes the GBA number even less impressive. GBA down big YoY.

But Nintendo sold more portables this year than last year, and with a huge competitor in the market. GBA should be down. It should be down a lot more.

Software is wrong by some margin i.e. year on year down about 14% not 4%, not sure if Hardaware is calculated by the same method, if so both soft and hardware could be wrong.

I dunno about X5. Probably X2 ... maybe X3 if they had a Gold GameCube + Zelda bundle.
Click to expand...

if my memory serves me correctly Gamecube moved around 800-900K last december, and that without a true killerapp like Zelda TP, so based on those numbers and Zelda TP, I would say 1 Million GCs with it isn't out of the question.
