i really cant see this happening, however i do understandthe "KInect" urge, however i think that Kinect was a holiday hit success as people where looking for consoles for there children etc, i think its momentum will slowly die and this will keep it at 4th position ! remeber the ps3 in Japan has a very weird selliing diagram, even after the holidays it still sold 40k last week...

 

 

so i think the 360 will stay at 4th with the wii at first, ps3 second (until 3DS) etc etc


still the 3rd best selling software (kinect) in emmea so the stoping in the americas is unlikely for a while imo but they need to sort their shit out in regards to stock. Though where I work in aus we are having stock issues as well, we pinched em from country stores. 

Other stores are having issues as well

can u stop bringing up the shortages! it's getting really annoying.

Specially for the thousands who are actually trying to find one.


I had a laugh at that one. 

HairlessHenry, People who are defending the 360 are not exactly always fanboys. To call one so is trolling. MS actually announced the shortages, I can see the shortages first hand at work, I am not the only one... shortages exist... deal with it.

Shortages my butt!! The 360 is now levelling off into where it was middle of last year. Steady 4th place with sales of 150k (and lower) by mid Feb. Kinect hasnt showed to make the 360 hardware more desirable. Just the xbots who bought the kinect and they already have a 360. The 360 and kinect sales have been overly inflated by a christmas period.

firstly isnt xbots trolling? 

secondly kinect adventures is doing awesome so yes it is selling hardware

thirdly could shortages be the reason for this perhaps?

I dont know why xbox 360 fanboys exist.. usually fanboys support the underdog! microsoft is a rich company i never seen people praise and support a "rich company".


Dear god, you're more confused than candy addict that is being offered candy by a paedo. All I see you do is troll all over the place.

they could just walk into the store and buy one?.. what shortages? every store has adleast a 4GB or 250GB alone or with kinect in store, i know shops in England have all of them.. on mass amounts. and apparently its the same over in the US

Ugh .. MS are replenishing stock but it's not at normal levels. Just because YOU can find one easily doesn't mean others can, stop using this stupid excuse "Oh me and my friends can find them so that must mean there are no shortages"

But..But.. The world evolves around diehard PS3 fans that happen to have uncanny interest in going into game shops and scouting specifically for X360 stock!
