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. |
If console sales had increased due to a price cut, then yes, I'd consider it unusual that software sales didn't increase somewhat across the board. However, hardware sales increased due to a specific game release, and it's obvious most people will be buying that game with the console, as opposed to other games.

Yes, but many new console buyers get more then one game. I usually get two or three games when I buy a new console. So I would imagine that some of the new console buyers would also pick up Halo or CoD as well as Gears. All three franchises have a shared fanbase, and lots of hype, I would imagine most new console buyers would pick up another game with Gears. Guess they just got Deus Ex and Dead Island instead.
