And now, the wait for (if) we get some hardware leaks (I mean, actual numbers) begins.

Less than 300k is a little disappointing. That's at best a 75.4% boost from July, and a 43.5% YoY boost from last August. The 360 S gave 360 sales in June 2010 an 85.7% boost for weekly average sales from May, and an 87.7% YoY increase from June 2009. 350k would've been a healthier number for the XBO S. Of course, we only had a single $400 SKU for most of the month, so we'll have to see what effects the cheaper SKUs will have on sales for September.

Now to wait for Aqua. Hopefully that guy that posted on her wall wasn't the real thing. I somehow doubt she'd be lying about having permission to post numbers.

No doubt, she would not risk their job. Someone at NPD authorized.

PS4 should be down yoy due to the slim / pro shenanigans. I wonder how low it will be.

Especially when most people predicted 300K+. Hell, I think some were predicting ~400K. Not me, though. Cause I'm awesome.
