I guess its because the X360s looks really good.

I mean I'd buy one but if only they redesign the controller, but that would never happen so I guess I will just play gears of war 3 on one of my friends X360

really good for 360 tho, 149 $ for a console its a crazy good price



Nintendo made me a gamer so I'd be stupid to ever try to forget that                                             like so many people nowadays

The Top  Best Consoles Are SNES and PSX 

Currently Playing: 1.Monster Hunter tri 2.MegaMan 10

This just goes to show you that if sales are struggling, all MS has to do is release a new case for the system, and a halo game around the holidays.

"We got a new box commin out so, sony is in trouble"

The NEW 360 has done very well, seems like MS maybe should have delayed until later towards the holidays, this is obvious that they plan on a double pronged attack.

1) By launching now an increase in sales

2) and by "cutting the price" with a new sku / natal "price cut- inclusion around the holidays.

The 360 launched at $300, Today it sells for the same amount. Think about that!

Totally expected sales. This is the hardware that MS should have launched in the first place. I think it is safe to say that PS3 will not be passing it anymore, as the spike in 360 sales should affect the PS3 sales, much like they did the other way around when the PS3 slim was introduced.

Nintendo now just has to weather this storm, along with the Move and Kinect. If they can get through all this and still outsell the HD consoles by a good margin, they will be in the clear for this gen and probably beyond that, as MS and Sony will have nothing left to counter the Wii's momentum except more price drops.

Winner of the 2010 VGC Holiday sales prediction thread with an Average 1.6% accuracy rating. I am indeed awesome.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

Interesting!  These are the 360 numbers I expected first week.  Hrm, I wonder what happened?  Just slow word of mouth and advertising or did more territories get added (I am not up to speed on when the 360S is getting released in the different territories).

 

I guess monster hunter gave it about 15k extra, still doesn't explain increased sales in Americas though.  Oh well, good job 360.



Mythe on 02 July 2010

what's with americans and being slim.....

since they can't be slim they want their consoles to be. lol =p



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

Very nice 360 sales. Not bad sales all round really considering this is normally the slow period.

However it just makes me wonder a bit more about the EU numbers for 360. How is it in US 360 just outsold WII and PS3 COMBINED but yet it sells in the 30's in EU?

I mean i would understand if that was Japan where 360 is not always desirable but in EU it is very similar to US, the markets are almost the same.

It would be good to get some clarification on those numbers and see if it is now because of arcades and elites selling out in various places?


I really think now its because of the Slim moreso than the pricecuts. Look at software, no bumps for Red Dead, slight bump for FF, could be from discounted bundles i guess....but really no big software increase even with an extra almost 100k from its normal selling point.

I always though the bump was from $150 entry price, but i underestimated how much 360 owners reallylove their gaming as apparent by the huge spike.

I think the numbers shed some light onto price point saturation. Price just simply isnt a factor anymore for the 360 since its been $199 for a while in the states and less in EMAA if im not mistaken. I expect now when the Slim is released in EMAA to have an even greater effect then we see now with discounts.

MSFT will likely notice this and begin driving feature driven updates moreso than price battles....great for them since theyre making money on the hardware.



What i mean is if we look closely at eu numbers over the past few weeks we see that the pattern has actually not changed regardless of the price cut to the various models. In UK it still sold around the same as it did before E3 and in the other countries it is doing slightly worse. Would a price cut really make no difference in those countries?

Because if you think about it if a price cut makes no difference would a more expensive 360 make any difference? It is as i said it doesn't seem right. I think the EU numbers maybe have been under-tracked by a fair bit, especially in UK where you will struggle to get hold of a 360 now. The demand is there, the question is, are the stock there to meet it?

You struggle to find a Xbox 360 in the UK because the slim has not released in Europe or others yet. Retailers are selling their remaining stock of the older models.
