Why would Microsoft just cut the price of their new slim model after a couple of month's? Seem's kinda stupid to release a price and then cut it down straight after release. Who can also prove that Microsoft are still making a profit off the new model? From what I've seen it's got more added features and it's design look's more expensive to develop, which is why I don't think they dropped the price at E3.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

How Much Will The New 360S Sell WorldWide In Its 1st Month Of Release

 

TIPS

PS3 Slim launch sales numbers 1st month

1.4 million worldwide @ $299 and £249

New 360 S Details

Releases 6/15/10 NA and 7/16/10 Europe

$299 and £199

Comes with

Console with external power brick 250gb HDD

Xbox 360 headset

Composite AV Standard Definition Cable

One wireless Xbox 360 controller

Features that 360S has that PS3 Slim didnt

Wireless N built in

5 usbs

Last gen B/C

Touch sensitive buttons

Glossy black finish

Extra 130gb HDD space

 

We'll have to take the four weeks it releases in NA and then the four weeks it releases elsewhere to come up with are total.  I've seen alot post lately saying that MS's E3 flopped harder than a walrus and that releasing a new slim with the same price of Elite is a bad idea sales wise.  I see different going by the tips section you'll see that the new 360S has many features the PS3 Slim didnt have and the PS3 cost more than £199 in the Europe territories I believe will see the 360S sell around 2 million in its first month of release an increase of 20% over the PS3.

 

Post what do you think the new 360S will sell in its first month? and why

Off to watching the Sony conference


Care to bet on the above bolded?

I hardly think that the new slim model will increase sales from about 400k a month to 2 million

Still waiting for a reply, wanna do a banning bet?  How sure are you it will sell 2 mil in first month?  It's only a month away, stores are selling them now..

Come on, back up your words..  If I were to say that I think PS3 will outsell Wii next year, I'd expect someone to call me out, and your claim is just as outrageous as that claim would be :P  Or at least retract what you said, and be more reasonable, 2 mil in a month..

I own all the consoles, granted I like my PS3 more (Demon's Souls and FF13 FTW) but even I would not make such a stupid claim.  There is your opinion, what you think, fact and then 'pull some stupid random fact that I think would happen' out of my @$$ kinda post, your sir, is the latter, if you think I am wrong, name your betting terms.



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

400-500k worldwide



PS3 slim analogy is completly off target ;) PS3 slim brough new refreshed model to the price point much lower than the previous version had.

X360 slim brings new model to the highest price point previous sku had.

I'd say 600-700k this month.

Firstly may i ask how you got the 1.4m PS3 slims were sold in 1st month figure? Does this number include the phasing out of the older PS3 models which were at a big discount?

Which makes predicting these numbers hard. Because if you mean 360 slim itself then will we have numbers tracking those? I didn't think tracking data tracked the individual types of consoles?

So if we are talking just about slims then personally i don't think it will get this huge boost that some are predicting. Obviously the first couple of weeks will see a boost from the current numbers but i don't think that will make too much of a difference. So i think maybe first week 150k, slims worldwide, 2nd 130k, 3rd 115k and 4th 100k. So a little over 500k for the slims.

But what will make the overall 360 numbers huge will be the price drop for the old models. The arcade is basically £100 here in UK. That will sell by the truck loads. So if we are to believe there are supposedly 2m 360's stock piled (if we look at Microsofts recent shipment figures) then every single one of those old consoles will sell and sell fast.

So for the rest of the world i think it is hard to predict. But for the first month in states with 360 numbers overall i think we are going to see a gigantic sales month.

Right now 360 is selling about 50k a week in US. Just before 360 had it's last price cut at the start of september 2008 it was also selling 50k a week in US. Soon as it had a price cut it jumped in sales by 95% to sell 98k a week. With the introduction of the slim and the price cut i expect those numbers to be repeated.

So for first week in US i would expect 100k sales of all the 360 units combined, 2nd week 90k, 3rd 80k and 4th 75k. So around 350k for 360 for the month in US.

The rest of the world is too difficult to predict. UK obviously will sell a lot but outside of there i doubt we will see too much of a change.



It will probably sell less than last month.  360 overall will have a moderate boost though, mostly due to the price reduction on the other models.

2 million for just the slim is completely ridiculous.



700-800k including all model



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I'm going to say that with the current 30k or so lead per week ps3 has over 360, the next few weeks will average out to being 30k over the ps3. So, maybe 80k thousand first week, 50k second week, 40k third week, 18k 4th week, 10k, 2k, even, then under.

you must not be familiar with these threads seeing your account is about 6 months old im pro sony i never make pro 360 sales threads i was being sarcastic with the 2m, sales section of vgc has been dead for quite sometime i was just trying to spur up some conversation

doubt it will even do 1m 1st month

id say 30k-40k japan 1st month

300k total others

350k NA

so total almost 700k

it will sell the most this september when reach comes out also by then theyll have the new 360S arcade model for $200
