I checked the site a couple days ago what did I see? bigjon talking crap about 360s expected blackfriday sales. Now when they do even better than last year its still "only" hundreds of thousands of 360s. What a failure!!

 

 Go back and read what I wrote I dont even remember what I wrote by I am pretty sure I put it at - well here is what i said...

"um ya, I do realize it is not just any week. Basically, if we see godly sales of the 360 this week (I am saying like 450k in NA alone) ioi will have overtracked and NDP will come in lower for the 360.

I expect sales of 350k or so in NA, and about 550-600 k ww- which would be very sexy sales."

 

If you call that trashing, well have it your way. I was low on Europe (I was not expecting even more increase), and mostly likely 50-75k low in NA.

 

Also, I did not know MS said they sold 310k last year. They does change things. But It certain caps it at AROUND 450k, I saw some people saying they expected 550k+.

Either way, I think it is funny how you guys will believe ioi's initial numbers over intertal sales data.... ioi does an awsome job with this site, and I trust his numbers(meaning I believe he is not slanting his numbers in some fanboy way), but I also know he is working with limited data and resourses(thus the reason I NEVER get pissed when he is wrong)

I think the 360 doing well is starting to go to a few of your heads.

 

Actually you said 400k would be it's max.  Also, if it sold 310k last year on Black Friday then that mean using last years percentages of consoles sold on Black Friday and outside of Black Friday, that brings this weeks to an estimated 460,350 consoles sold.

Of course, this is if there's similar percentages, which could be higher or lower.  I'm going to guess that because it's been selling well, it will sell more than 18.8% outside of Black Friday, but maybe not.  Then, there's sales from Canada and Mexico to factor in.  500k is very possible.

MS did not sell 310k in one day. I also have NO clue how you figured % of BF numbers for the week.
