xbox360 before battlefield 115 743
ps3 before battlefield 83 699

xbox360 battlefield week 150 237 (+34494)
ps3 battlefield week 110 540 (+26841)

xbox360 uncharted week 169349 (+19112)
ps3 uncharted week 120688 (+10148)

xbox360 mw3 week 324046 (+154697)
ps3 mw3 week 142 937 (+22249)

So i get from this the ps3 got a bigger boost from battlefield then MW3 (note battlefield sold 960k compared for 2500k for MW3)
Uncharted boost the xbox more then the ps3 which explain why uncharted 4 should be exclusive to the 360
Even with no new sofware on the uncharted week the xbox got a bigger boost then the ps3
and for some reason people think the numbers are normal ??

Why would Battlefield boosting more PS3 units then MW3 be abnormal? Who knows what CoD fans think of PS3 after the PSN outage and delayed map packs.

Also Uncharted week was the first week Halo and Fable got bundled, so it makes sense that 360 still pushed harded then UC in Americas. Remember it's nearly twice as popular in this region. Worldwide PS3 still had that week, so makes sense if you ask me.

As for this week, look at your local flyer. I don't see a single 360 sold at full retail price. Although not official, retailers are selling 360's at prices on par or lower then PS3, even with the bundles.

This isn't about CoD fans but rather new cod players. 2.5 million CoD sales vs. 900k BF3 sales and you think the average consumer actually remembers the outage by now?

Not surprising, considering you can get a $199 360 any time you want. It's nothing new for them to be selling 360s for less than the PS3, why do you act like it is?

Yea, but Call of Duty sells on hype. if all the PS3 fans are switching systems, or complaining about delayed map packs and PSN Outage,  then more of the the new buyers will buy the 360 bundle since XBL is becoming more associated with CoD.

and yes I still think the average consumer remembers the outage. My parents tried to convince me not to get a Sony phone because of the PSN outage. It's more then an outage, personal information and credit card information was stollen.

As for Arcade 360's, most 360 sales are of the 250GB, which is suppose to be retail $299. Arcade systems are lesser systems only makes sense they cost less, but I've seen Elite systems (is that what they are called now) sell for $230, where PS3 bundles are limited to $250 with all 3 Uncharteds in some places, but usually just the 3rd one.
