I kinda doubt it but it could in NA.

"No, and I don't think it will be close. The only people that are really pumped for ODST are Halo 3 fans, and if you have Halo 3 then guess what you already have? That's right. I don't see too huge of a bubble for this. If it were a massive critical success (which it's not. It hasn't gotten 1 perfect score) then one could argue for a big surge."

Words of wisdom here.

TOP 12: Deus Ex, Shadow Man, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturn, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Metroid Prime, Zelda (series), Uncharted (series), FF Tactics, Persona (series), Demons Souls, Vagrant Story.

MOST WANTED: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Last Guardian, ICO/Shadow OTC HD

I think the 360 is gonna struggle to outsell the PS3 WW even once for the rest of the year. Then there is 1st quarter next, which is so heavily loaded for the PS3 it will be hard then for the 360, too!

PS3 to sell 230-250k this week.
x360 will be lucky to reach 200k.

So, i guess, we answered to this topic question. Definitely No.

yea i think this also.

Unless the arcade gets a massice drop in price i think sony is gonna win WW from now on. Unless some big system seller games drop for the 360 i think from now on it will be a surprise for the 360 to out sell the ps3. i would say natal but i am pretty sure most 3rd parties that wonna do motion are gonna go ps3/wii since its the same tech and a much bigger install base.

thats just my 2 cents

No, everyone that wants ODST already owns a X360, I dought it's going to bring in much newcomers.



no..the probability is that PS3 is going to outsell in WW for the following weeks and may continue the pace, still facing the US disadvantage.



I think the mail in rebate is more important to stronger sales than the release of ODST. I don't think there will be a huge difference in terms of units sold for either but the PS3 has a more momentum than the 360 right now. I will say that momentum should be good for the next week or 2 and then it will probably even out and the 360/ps3 share wins/losses for the rest of the year.

No. The people who want ODST most likely have a 360 already along with Halo 3. The few hundred that may be new owners won't make a significant difference.

Next week will probably looks something like this:
PS3: NA= ~72k JAP= ~27k EU/O= ~91k for a total of ~190k

Xbox360: NA= ~68k JAP= ~5k EU/O= ~62k for a total of ~135k

PS3:190k
360:135k

PS3 will probably just barely win next week as well.


You expect Xbox 360's sales to drop in NA in the week that ODST launches and an extra rebate is given on the Elite?
