America's up!

Slim, Reach, Kinect, new bundles (Forza/Alan Wake). It's not the fact that it's pulling bad numbers ATM, just that it's pulling below average numbers after all of that. As I pointed out above Kinect has propelled 360 to Wii 2008-like numbers in Americas. It's probably having a bigger impact than a $100 price cut would have had. Whereas in EU it hasn't really had any impact. Look at past history, when a console is nearing the end of its life-cycle almost nothing has any long term impact. When both PS2 an Gamecube went to $99 there was a brief surge in sales and then they dropped off back to previous levels and continued to fall. The exact same thing happened with DS last year after its price cut.

Forza 3 wasnt a recent release

Reach came after Halo 3 and ODST and Wars and in the second half where it appears 360 outsold PS3 -> see slim and Kinect, even though I said besides Kinect... Alan Wake was never going to be a system seller, you are pulling at strings there mate

Okay EMEAA is still pulling decent numbers for Kinect and 360 numbers from the looks of it are more or less stable. Yes they aren't PS3's but stable. I doubt they will go down and when the voice for Kinect comes in Europe I am sure they will get a surge as well. That is not even a selling point away from England, the US and a few select countries, Australia is not one annoyingly.

Kinect bundle is bloody expensive and as far as I know that is the best selling bundle, at least where I work (in australia) yes its not the world but it is the best I can go off.
