According to statistics from Compete.com, interest in the X360 surpassed the PS3 in major online retail outlets on the same day Amazon offered up X360's for $100. Since October demand for all consoles grew tremendously, however only the PS3 suffered any sort of decline. This is attributed to people knowing they can't find them and seeking alternatives instead.

Once again Nintendo is in a class all it's own with the Wii's demand going clear of both competitors.

this is already flawed...the only accurate data would be the wii vs xbox 360. demand needs supply to work. its being viewed as a relaunch when the next shipment of ps3s come

ecxuses excuses, the only group at fault for limited supply is the manufacturer.

but i agree that the table is flawed, but not because of demand and supply, simply because you cannot simply measure 'interest' online and use that to see which console is more popular.

yea the manufacturer are to blame for this....but i would jus like to know if the game type, game play or even graphic can be conserider in this poll....it seem unfair to jus base it on internet demand...each of thes console have there own unquie features..this poll seem to limited :o

wow slickdre....this is based on demand for the console...which influences sales once they are available...which is the only thing that matters in the end

that whole chart is sooo wrong, it had sales before de launch???

reason why ps3 was not on demand again was because, it prices on ebay too rediculous :( so it should not even fall it should just level off some how there is this gradual curve!!! errr there should be just 2 huge spikes, 1 for the ps3 and the other wii and another funny ting is the wii is still at high demand, every where i go its sold out and long lines, even if its not the launch
sunday past was the launch in japan and circuit city and toysRus had wiis out for sale guess what it was like another launch long long lines

maybe by chirstmas when every one gets their fill the wii might be less of a demand. but every one loves the wii and reommends it

Wrong both of you, this is online demand, not online sales.
