ioi, Did you track the new green halo 360s this week? When the sales of the system completely doubles in europe, how does it only increase 19% after all the tons of evidence we've seen of people buying multiple systems in stores everywhere on launch night alone?
To put it in perspective, there were over 10,000 stores open for a midnight launch, if only 2 people bought a console at each store, that's already more than the increase you gave to the 360 hardware in the US. There's no way it just went up 19k, it went up 17k in THE UK ALONE.
We know sales trends tend to follow each other. The UK is the best selling place for 360 outside of the US where it has a 1.4 million user base compared to 7.4 in US. In other words it has 19% of the userbase of the US. Now look at the software sales for halo 3, 2.6 in US and 460k in the UK. In proportion, the uk sold 17.7% of what the US did in software. That's almost perfectly in line with userbases. Now, sales doubled for Hardware in the Uk, how could they not be very similar in the US realistically?
Even you said you expected it to be 200k from preliminary numbers.
