Forums - Sales - CNBC: 310,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold in the U.S last week

Now we're going to hear how we undertrack/overtrack, or anything negative people will spew. They will beg for the numbers to be changed, etc. This can't be good.

i don't understand why so many people attack accident.
he's new and post something that some of you already know. ok.

but don't attack newbies for posting x360 news.
and when it is already posted you can say it friendly!



It's interesting but vgchartz has proven that the formula that ioi is using to make the sales numbers is a bit like an auto correction.

i have a feeling its only shipment numbers stated.. not customer sales.

That's what it usually is when a company reports sales figures.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
