Sales figures

Following on from this post about PS3 sales being down 59%, I’ve gotten more facts and figures. Yay. Despite the grim PS3 news, a factor in this could be an expectant audience waiting for a price drop, and of course the fact that the big C is around the corner (only 148 shopping days left!).

Josh Lovison of IPG (a digital media company) told Kotaku: Microsoft’s entire move to the New Xbox Experience may have been partly influenced by the desire/need for advertising, as… Continue »
