pretty darn good sales for the 360, numbers would be even bigger if we at Gamestop could actually come close to meeting demand, unforunatly we can't at all these new Slims are gonna be sold out for a long long time. 



Excellent news.  Is this the same in other stores, other Gamestop stores and competitor stores too?


well I can't really talk about the specifics in my job because i could basically get in some huge trouble because there's been a lockdown on us at Gamestop since we leaked the Black Wii coming to America and Assassins Creed Brotherhood and all that but I have talked to all the store managers in a LARGE area (roughly 16 stores) and I know we are sold threw on Pre-Orders for the system for the next two shipments, In other words in our district people aren't even aloud to pre-order the system anymore because we can't come close to meeting demand and can't promise them when they can get a system because our next two Shipments are already completly sold out and they haven't even hit the retail floor yet.

360 is doing more than I expected even though I expected a lot from it after the Slim debut. If sales keep going for another 2 weeks in America then the Others Slim debut happens the 360 could be massive that week. I still say that Nintendo has nothing to worry about. I would say the same for Sony but if 360S is even half the success in Others then it is in America Sony could be in trouble.

360 v PS3 gap is back above 5m....

 

 

The PS3 will over take the 360 in total sales within a year. You can quote me on that one.

Good 360 numbers.  I can't wait to see Others numbers when the 360S releases there.

My area GameStops, Walmarts, and Best Buy's are still all sold out.  Only place I have seen 360's available is on Walmart.com and Buy.com.

Amazon.com and BestBuy.com are still backordered.

I haven't seen any at retail since the first day when I got mine

The gap is around 5 million units, a year has about 52 weeks, a simple calculations tells us that on average the PS3 would have to sell over 96,000 units more than the Xbox360 to pass it. The chances are slim.

any thoughts on the new customers vs. replacement 360s ratio.  i just really don't get why this level of demand for a redesign.  if we take the baseline sales of the 360 at 50k and assume that MS had enough supply to meet demand then the lauch of the 360 slim would have reached 317k just in america(a 634% increase) plus we apparently still haven't met demand.  the ps3 redesign only did  around 500k worldwide with a $100 price drop.  these number just seem too big to me.

how the hell is this going to happen?

Leprechauns. They are Sony fanboys who will hypnotize people into buying PS3s.
