360 really doesn't have a reason to be selling that much, I have a feeling once shipped numbers come out things will look differently, something just seems off, 360 hasn't even had a notable exclusive launch this year and kinect sales are droping and are less then the amount 360s are rising, the only other thing I can think of is people replacing 360s that broke but that doesn't make much sense either why now
|
Um, it's only February. Also, why would someone go out and pay for a 360 out of their own pocket when Microsoft would repair it for free?
|
Well there is a Kinect exclusive coming out next week, and games like Dead Space 2, and especially Test Drive Unlimited 2 (a sequel to a 360 exclusive), push more hardware on the 360. Not to mention, the 360 just came out of shortages, so people who wanted one in January can finally get one. Also, other then LBP2 and Killzone 3, what notable PS3 exclusives are there? What about Wii? PSP? DS? No one has anything really stellar now, all the big games are multiplatform HD.

Good point, maybe bulletstorm is selling the 360 consoles that would make sense, old 360 dev, shooter, over the top to grab attention that might be it
|
Yes, Bulletstorm is a good example of a game that would sell better on the 360 then PS3. 360 has a larger US audience, which is more shooter oriented. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 should help PS3 numbers though to be fair.
|
The only problem with the Bulletstorm boost is that Killzone 3 is coming out that week as well bundled. That should even/make PS3 boost a bit higher.
|
Yea, but isn't Marvel Vs. Capcom coming out at a similar time? I agree, the week of Killzone 3, PS3 sales should bump above 360, but sales will still be close, and the gap between the two consoles should remain steady.
My original point was that this is true because Kinect has raised 360's popularity in general, and most of the better games are HD multiplatformers (Yes Killzone, and LBP score over 9/10, but so did Dead Space, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, and it's likely that Bulletstorm Dragon Age 2, and Test Drive get high scores as well).
