binary solo on 30 September 2011
| Michael-5 said: Sales are so unusual this week. -No Halo Reach, Kinect Adventures, or even Black Ops (360) in the top 40, despite the spike in console sales this week. -Black Ops selling better on PS3 then 360. - Wii sales getting weaker and weaker, and overall weak sales on all consoles (They were all selling around 200k last year at this time). -360 not outselling the PS3 in EMEAA despite the Gears spike. So odd, I expect PS3 to take #2 next week. |
Given these oddities I think it means a large % of the 360 spike is re-buys of 360: Gears Ltd Ed box and some people with old white boxes upgrading to 360s. If it was a lot of 1st time 360 buyers you'd expect a lift in sales for quite a few games in the back catalogue. I wonder how Gears 1 and 2 sold this week. If I was a 1st time 360 buyer this week I'd be buying all 3 Gears games. GEARS of WAR MARATHON!!
