| Michael-5 said: Well it's garenteed thirs for a while, even with shortages it came in third this week, and it's only 35k away from 1st/2nd, but the DS and Wii are selling so closely if 360 takes anything it will take first. I think for a few weeks in february the 360 will take first, but the 3DS comes out in Japan in 5 weeks, and 9 worldwide. When that happens I think the 3DS will take first, and hold it for a while However if your talking about just home consoles, then yea I think the 360 will stay ontop until at least E3, and as long as MS can keep Casual fans happy with Kinect, and hardcore fans happy with Gears, Forza, and maybe a Halo 1 remake then except for the last two months of the year (where Wii will take off in sales), then the 360 can be the best selling console for a while. However until shortages are dealt with it's going to have to settle for second, and when PS3/Wii have any big game releases, the 360 will temporarily fall behind. |
Since 360 is 50K over PS3 (making 360 at 166% of PS3 sales, which is similar even a bit higher then before "shortages") , I dont think those said "shortages" have a quantifiable effect right now. Maybe in a couple of weeks though, when people will not be able to buy another SKU or simply go to another store to get the specific SKU they want (most cities have a lot of different store selling 360s). I quoted you but could have quote many other.
