Not really, that $500 mill is strewn across 5 Q's and is sensationalised, Nintendo spend more than $500 mill advertising the Wii most years .. it's not really that much. That at PS3 had GT5 which was obviously popular in Europe. Dunno what you expected Fable and Halo to do ..

Link? I've not seen that said before.

And Fable/Halo are MS's 2 biggest franchises. Big games releasing = More advertising for the system due to those games. Both system sellers (even if minimal) with bundling.

Add in a Slim redesign, and the launch of the fastest selling electronic device ever...

All in the space of a Year... While the PS3 had GT5 and Move.

Kowen or some other 360 fan dug that info out, I wouldn't have a clue where to find it. Still though, it's the 3rd Halo game and it gave a slight boost, but it's irrelevent, as you said, minimal.

I'm impressed PS3 is ahead, but impressed it was more or less flat YoY more than anything. 360's growth was very impressive, going into it's 5th year, with Kinect, but without a price cut, and being up YoY by a large margin.
