Pretty slow month.

It's been said many times before but, it never loses relevance. Price cut!!

I would be interested in the global numbers not just the US numbers. Is there a source for that?

Nope, only what the manufacturers ship, and that doesn't come out as often.

As was said the best you can hope for is manufacturer shipment, but you had good timing for your question as MCV has released worldwide numbers

http://issuu.com/intentmedia/docs/mcv_issue550



Note that the list is not complete as we don't know what countries are under "PAL" and we don't have numbers for Canada/Mexico/South America, as well as other Asian countries and smaller market countries.

For reference, apparently the PS3 has shipped 23.8 million WW (and the PSP has shipped 55.9 million), linky

[STARSCREAM]

Atleast PS3 outsold the PS2. The slim coming out with a $299 price should jump the PS3 sales way up there. I know I'll probably be buying a 2nd one.

21m in WW sales not including Asia, Canada, and other minor markets looks pretty accurate.

[PS3] 9.7m
[360] 10.0m

PAL sales, so much for MS's 1m lead eh?

I meant in general. I don't think that many people knew the slim was coming a month ago.

Really? I thought many knew it was coming from the leaked image before E3.

One would assume. Anyway, yea, it's a slow month for all.

[Elandyll]

The price cut has been rumored to happen since E3 (which was itself rumored to be the occasion for a price cut), which has hurt every single month's sales (even if the $399 price point is also hurting sales in and of itself, of course).

The latest rumor had the price cut anounced at the Gamescom in August (rumor since June), so July got hit hard, and expect August to be hit as well ( unless the rumors of dwindling availability of the Fat PS3, on top of the promos left and right to liquidate stocks worked).

Still disheartening (at least the PS3 placed 1 in the top 3 software), but it should be the last month or the one before last before things turn around imo.
