  We pity you, Sony.
  
  "On the rest of the next-gen front, Microsoft's Xbox 360 moved 13,500 systems, while the PlayStation 3 sold through 6,500 units and was trumped by the Game Boy Advance; Nintendo's portable predecessor to the DS sold 8,800 systems."
  
  We really do... I mean, the Red Ring of Death and an obsolete handheld beat you. Either that or Canadians are poor.

    Who cares about Canada... Seriously the PS3 is selling well everywhere else, i guess Canada is just full of poor people.

  Wow.
  
  I love how the comment here is "who cares" but when the PS3 outsells the X360 by 4k units, it's whoops and cheers for Sony.
  
  
  
  This is a helluva lot more significant.

  Haha, right on the money, Cdemon. That's how it is over here in GameGrep, unfortunately I know a few guys up in Canada who are caught between the PS3 and 360 atm. They seem to take long before making a decision.

  lul canada. what's wrong with them guys.
  
  maybe this will give sony some more initiative to to do something about that damn system. that's pretty sad when a last-gen handheld is outselling a current/next gen console with like 34543x the power.

  Actually, the PS3 is 34544x more powerful than the GBA, nub.

  Not great to hear on Sonys part, they are going to have to do something to change this espically in Canada, though I believe this is the only place where this is currently happening.

  As a Canadian myself. I'd just like to say I actually have the money for a PS3. But when it's price is $550. I'm not going to purchase it. I own a 360 and a Wii. Both work perfect. Heck I barely play either of them.
  
  While the States can get a PS3 for $500. Converting that to Canadian money equals out to $550. Plus I know tons of rich people and they aren't that interested in a PS3.
  
  I knew there would be doubters making comments about Canada. I don't really care. I could make those comments about the States but I don't need to.

    I agree. Don't making comments when you don't know *bleep*.
    
    Anyways, surprising to see the Game Boy Advance outsell the PS3 in that month.

  Sony needs to do something. Nintendo is on a roll that ain't slowing down.

  I don't understand the Game Boy Advance
  
  Everything else makes sense though, the PS3 in Canada is like 800 bucks, the Wii is 300. That saves us the cost of an Xbox 360 (500 bucks). Kids like Nintendo, parents like cheap consoles. So do university students who have to pay off student loans and tuitions. The only people buying PS3's in Canada are high school students with part-time jobs that can afford to throw that kind of money away because they're not paying for anything else, and rich people.

    I knew a guy with a PS3. He actually gave it away. He did get it for free, but he would have had to review PS3 games if he had taken it.
    
    Yeah, the PS3 has been selling quite poorly here. However, I didn't think the GBA would be selling so well at this point of it's life! I still see GBA games selling decently, but I didn't think the actual systems did. The 360 has done pretty well here, as well. The Wii is still nearly impossible to find, however.
    
    Sony really played the cards wrong around here, though. $700 launch price is *bleep*ing rediculous(with 14% taxes, you are looking at roughly $800). People really aren't interested in paying that much for something unproven. The Wii has been doing well since launch and I know a number of 360 owners. Also, I do know a number of high-end PC owners as well. Many people I know are willing to pay $1,300+ on a high-end PC but not $700 on a PS3. Again, Sony simply has not captured the interest of Canadians.

  Wtf is with people and hating on Canada?
  
  And Gameboy advances can play old Gameboy games, so I can see why people would buy them.

  Hum. Well there you go. I am actually starting to feel rather bad for Sony. The PS3 looks to be a bigger mistake than the Dreamcast.
