YES!XBOX = Domination! (except in Japan)

I'm surprised by those umbers even though I shouldn't be, new model and outgoing clearance of the old units and a price cut should pull off some serious numbers. But I don't think this can hold up, the reason for that is my prediction, that everyone who ever wanted a Xbox already got one, be it elite or arcade, as they were cheap enough already. So this will not attract many new customers, some yes, but not a large ammount. So mostly the Xbox owners that already have an older model will go and replace it with the new "slim".

I expect sales drop after a week or two in the NA, with the same thing happening in EU (maybe only 2 week increase) and Japan no effect at all. Once old SKU's are sold out, people won't choose the new Xbox over the PS3Slim as the value in Slim is higher and they should be selling for the same price. So in a month time, I expect Xbox to be selling like it did right before the "slim" release. I.E. It won't create the momentum PS3 had with the slim release.

PS3  SLIM had a long impending price cut not like 360 which after cheaper SKU's sell out will be back at the price

many people wanted to buy PS3 after PS2 but they couldn't because of the price,at 360's side all XBOX owners already are in

yes ELITE are sold out but we will see them coming in and stablizing in a few weeks

excpet WW too atm

USA domination except DS

this would be true unless this Kinect thing takes off and potential/current wii owners buy into the hype

and buy one.....I think kinect will sell well but in my opinion they need a big title for launch to warrant a purchase

It outsold DS in America?

NOW for USA:

cheaper SKU sellout = sales drop

XBOX S availability = sales increase

july 20th we should see them stablise 80k-90k

FALL 2010 for USA:

HALO REACH = one week increase

ARCADE SLIM = increase

KINECT = first few weeks medium increase,after few weeks slight increase

i was comparing 360's America numbers with DS,WII,PSP,PS3 worldwide numbers as they are so high

Is this how you're hoping it goes

Only a few days of possibly constrained sales and minus the other major region so not bad I guess. MS are pushing the advertising hard in the UK (and would assume the rest of EU) but you have to wonder what people think when they say it is "Kinect ready" which must just be a mystery function to the average Joe. 

I am fighting the urge to buy one of these now especially as I have absolutely no need until at least the Kinect launch when I will have no choice but to buy as my family are totally sold on Kinect.

As for those pushing the price reductions argument. It works three ways yes some people will want to snap up the cheaper consoles yet others will want the new console and then others will wait until the old stock is completely deplenishded and the new model gets a price cut. I suspect the majority of that bump is mostly down to new stock.
