WOW they have all come out now as expected, laying quite all this time then coming out beating drums.

grats to microsoft, new redesign discounted consoles old4new trade-in has bumped the WW numbers by a large margin.

exaclty like the ps3 slim then...

sort of similar, but i reckon more xbox owners have or willing to trade in thier old for the new model, than ps3 owners with the ps3 slim.

if majority were new purchases of the 360 slim, SW would have bumped up considerably, so its safe to say most of those sales are upgraders. il prolly end up getting both slims by end of year anyway, but the new slim 360 is much more desirable than the old.

 of bate a fisherman would use to snag a gamer.

If anything the 360 owners have more reasons to want to upgrade, the reality was the PS3 slim removed functionality the 360 is adding it. Couple this with older machines in the market many still prone to the original defect and you have a good reason to purchase. This argument is often used to tried and belittle sales so I will expect to see it used repeatedly if the numbers remain high

Having said that due to the scarcity of the first round of consoles it is likely that the hardcore will be the bulk of the early purchasers. The advertising campaign is in full swing, but they will need to get them into the shops  as they have nothing to purchase at the moment (Except in Canada which as rafichamp pointed out still as them in stock last I looked the ca version of Amazon had them in stock with more arriving soon).

i've argued the same point agianst PS3 Slim and i'm here to do it again against the 360 slim. we all know some current 360 owners will go out and buy this new version of the 360 and for me it doesn't tell the true story of what the console is selling?

BUT SELLS ARE SELLS AND THAT CAN'T BE ARGUED!
