The PS3 demand falls to record lows in the US. PS3 sold only 200k units throughout the entire month of February 07...down 300k per month since December 2006.

PS3 Dec 06 Sales: 500k units
PS3 Jan 07 Sales: 244k units
PS3 Feb 07 Sales: 200k units

Nintendo Wii still leads selling approx 400k units in Feb 07...down 30k units in Jan 07 due to shortages.

So the PS3's downward spiral continues as consumers lose interest in the massively overpriced console. Will the month of March bring PS3 sales down to below the 150k unit mark?

No matter how good certain games are, the price is going to be a problem for the casuals. We all should agree on this by now.

shouldn't ps3 sales have spiked since the one sony rep offer to buy ps3s back for twice retail?  or did he tell another sony lie?

and with the ps3 being even more expensive ,  the removal of bc, etc  europe isn't going to save the ps3.  anyone who really wanted a ps3 didn't wait,  they imported one of the over supplied us models at a cheaper price and with bc.

$600.  That's Sony's major problem.  Most people won't pay over $200 - $250 for a game console.  Look at the PS2 sales through the years for proof.

"You know compared to other eletronics in Uk PS3 doesn't seem over priced" I can get a PC & a flat screen for the same price as the PS3. Of course the PS3 isn't expensive compared to other electronics, it's just not as interesting.

This is a prediction, not an actual NPD report. So, big deal. Lost Planet wasn't released in February for the 360. Only Crackdown. PS3 had VF5 and F1 in Feb.

it's still gonna seem expensive compared to the 360 and wii which is what counts.   ms and nintendo will also cut their prices is sony does so it's not going to get any better for sony.  and if nintendo and/or the 360 gets a price cut before sony,  well then it's gonna get much worse.  sony have put them in a position of choosing to lose money fast,  or lose money slow.  nintendo and ms will both release new consoles rendering the ps3 obsolete betore the ps3 is profitable for sony.

no1 wants to buy a garbage ps3

even considering the fact most people recieved tax return money from the government the ps3 floped HARD.

Flop da Flop Flop... Flop da Flop Flop FLOP

The xbox 360 sold well over 400k in the US in the same exact month last year. This just shows how bad ps3 is doing

people buy a game console to play games.  movies are an after thought.  regular dvd has a much better library than either of the new formats.  but if blurays sucess is tied to the ps3 as close as you claim,  then bluray is doomed.   sony better hope bluray isn't dependant on the console that is flopping.  did you really buy a ps3 to watch movies?  or is it what you are forced to do while waiting for games to come out?  the lack of ps3 games is why bluray sales are spiking.  when sony actually gets some game disks people want to put in the tray bluray sales will fall.   my point still stands.  and weren't the ps3 and bluray suposed to be region free?

you are one gigantic noob sorry. everyone knows the lack of games are spiking up blu-ray sales and pwning the lemming's sorry hd-dvd drive in the process, that peripheral may be the biggest waste of money ever and i think a lot of people bough it too, sorry lems :D games are region free, movies are not this has been known forever. so people dont just import cus one of the main selling points of ps3 is the blu-ray movie playing ability, and movies are not region free so importing is useless as you would have to import all your movies as well in the future.

ps3 is a brand new and it only manages to sell 200k? wow thats PATHETIC

not to mention that they are completly available throughout the US because no1 wants to spend 599us dollars on a paperweight

a brand new system with full availibility just sitting on store shelves. The thing that completes the flop is the fact that the ps2 sold over 100million. Yet here we are with the ps3 struggling to sell 200K :lol:

if this isnt a flop i dont know what is
