I don't really understand what you mean lol
it... it can't be!
ok Vegeta lol. Yeah well whatever PS4 is still gonna keep climbing from here
Even more proof that PS3 sold at a faster rate than 360 even being more expensive with a more competition
This was just a few months after the first 399 SKU for the PS3 launched, and in addition sales have dramatically shifted towards the holidays. I wouldn't worry.
PS3 did pick up, but the PS4 will as well. Going to increase from here on out.
