we all know that the 360 slim launch can't be compared to the PS3 slim launch...since the ps3 had a price cut with it... and because most of the Ps3 sales were from Japan.


I'm not sure what your saying, are you saying Japanese sales don't count


no no, all i'm saying is that the 360s will not surpass the PS3s launch because of the japanese sales

Well, if you want we can take Japan out of it.  Let's just go America and EMEAA.  So, PS3's first week was 164K in America.  Of course, Selnor has a problem with that since it was available everywhere (read in a few local Gamestops and Best Buys) a week in advance.  Which, if anything, lowered PS3's launch numbers in America.  But, I digress.  So, to be fair, let's just go with the 360's 2nd week of sales.  This would allow the advertising to take effect, so most would know about the new model.  That's 169K.

Ok, now let's go to EMEAA.  PS3 had 266K.  This means that the 360 will have to have a total of 261K in sales in EMEAA  to match the PS3.  And let's say ~ 287K (this would take us out of the 10% error leeway) to be a significant enough gap to proclaim it ahead of the PS3 Slim's launch.  Do you think this will be the case?
