@ Squilliam

I think that's a pretty good point about who may be buying the new 360s.

another good point is who is buying new 360s and no games

Personally I suspect the second hand market has a lot to answer for. If you are buying a console this late in the generation and it is not bundled then the sales pitch almost inevitable slides to the second hand market. Bascially it is very easy to buy lots of titles but have none show up in software sales.

 

now you are just drunk

it can't be that people are buying $299 hw  and then just can't buy software

and it just simply can't be that all have been doing it as 360 HW have been alot and SW have barely moved.

I think welshie has a good point. If I ever get Wii or 360 I'll only be buying used games. There's probably only a few more PS3 games this gen I'll buy new. I've bought more PS3 games new than I did PS2 games, so my new game buying phase is almost over.

As to Squillies idea that RROD fear has been holding people back, well for me there was no way I was buying a used phat 360 when the next gen starts. But now I'm almost certain to be buying a used 360s (prolly Arcade) a year or so after Nextbox releases. So take that for what you will.

Having said that I still think this doesn't fully explain why 360 weekly HW>>>>PS3 weekly HW atm but 360 SW < PS3 SW at the same time. There's a significant % of upgraders in the weekly numbers right now, and they will eventually fall away.

I wonder if people buying 250Gig in advance of Kinect are going to be a little miffed when they realise they're gonna end up paying $50 more than those who wait and buy the 250Gig Kinect Bundle.
