Why are people assuming that if there isn't a bump in software sales then there aren't new console owners? If I'm a new owner why should I purchase a new full priced game when I have a whole library of AAA games in the bargain bin which I haven't played? I fail to see the logic...

So, used games aren't tracked, and that explains the lack of sales spike for software, because people buy used?

I think he meant that those bargain bin games are much harder to track because of the low sales numbers. I would say it is almost impossible to get a good number on those titles. Selection varies from store to store and so on.

Ok, thanks.  I do also think that you tend to only see a sales spike in new releases when they just have been released.  As of now, they haven't been. 

In regards to people buying new 360 systems, if they have one, they will either trade in or give the system to someone else.  I gave my older 360 to my brother, for example.
