Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox 360:

  • Elegant design enabling it to be sold at the lowest price point. Wow, that's the only time the 360 will ever be described as elegant, anyway, the price drops have done well for them, but if Ninty need to drop the price they can, the Wii was sold at profit day 1
  • The biggest and best catalogue of games. More than the other two machines put together. Best is subjective, infact, apparently so is biggest. VGChartz has 502 games listed under 360. 718 listed under Wii and 367 for the PS3
  • Xbox Live, by far the biggest and best online console gaming portal.
  • Rampant piracy killed the Dreamcast and the PSP

 

So now we are in the biggest selling season at the critical middle of the 360's cycle, (the Wii and PS3 have not reached this middle yet) when the meat of all console sales are made. And Microsoft are selling reasonable amounts of 360s.

  • In Italy and the UK (both big Sony strongholds), I cherry picked data so that it appears that the 360 now outsells the PS3 two for one.
  • In America too I cherry picked data so that it appears that the 360 is selling twice as fast as the PS3.
  • Some weeks the 360 is even outselling the PS3 in Japan. Correctus
  • 7 million 360s sold in European territory. 2 million since June as sales ramped up.
  • 360 sales to date still below of lifetime sales of the original Xbox. 2 weeks before 360 sales reach their peak. (Black Friday 2008 will be 'the peak', the 360 may have outshipped the xbox, but it certainly has not outsold it)

 

Sorry champ
