That's the magic of Black Friday baby.

I got myself a vita for Persona4Golden.

I'm hoping to get a Vita for Christmas, but man, it needs more quality games and/or a price drop. Confused

Impressive sales, let me see what wonderful software/super mega AAA game or what happened in the last couple months that could have led to such tremendous hardware sales... they are really impressive for the ps3.

halo 4 came out buddy
the PS3 was just bundled with a pack of games and stores had them for cheap
I only play PC games but spent over 100$ on steam with gifts and such

I think the PS3 is the black sheep in this sales report because the 360 had two big titles this month and the Wii U also came out this month. I mean, there is All Stars but I don't think it sold that well Laughing
I wanted to buy a 3DSXL, but no retailer offered it for 150$ on Black Friday and that is the utmost price I am willing to pay for such a mediocre handheld.
The beginning of 2013, when all the big titles come out, is when we will really start seeing consoles fly off the shelves.

How the blip does that make ps3 the black sheep? Its the only one of the 3 that sold well without being either a new system or having Halo 4 released? Plus the xbox bundles were still a lot cheaper than ps3 bundles and they still sold more ps3 bundles. I think all things considered Sony did well.

Man, P4 Golden looks godlike on the Vita screen (and sounds good too). Smile

Well, you can be sure Halo had nothing to do with the ps3 sales, Halo is an exclusive MS series. Same as MGS being exclusive to Sony.

Wow, that many sales this late in the game for the 360 and PS3.

I was going to get the Vita as well but didn't feel like being price gouged by Sony on the memory cards. I wish they would have kept the memory stick pro support and maybe I would have jumped on board already.
