Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 Slim Seeing 'Unprecedented Demand,' says Microsoft

ps3 120 gb is #13, 360 slim is #14.  ps3 250 gb bundle is 60.  Other 360's aren't on the list.  Ps3 woudl still be ahead if there was more supply, because i'm 98% sure it includes  orders still going through

PS3 120 gigs are now easily avaible at major us retailers...best buy, walmart, target.  The same can not be said for the 360s.

the same can't be said for the 360s.

Those #'s are amazon.com's.  Amazon.com (to the best of my knowledge) includes orders that cannot yet be fulfilled due to supply problems, but have been ordered and paid for.  So, since the 360S isn't available in stores, one would think people would resort more to just ordering it on Amazon.  When buying a ps3, you have the choice of a store or Amazon, and the ps3 is still ahead of the 360S.  As I mentioned before, the other 360 models also aren't in the top 100, not mentioned is that even the ps2 is on the top 100 list.

Yes, it is selling very fast, but don't be fools saying it will continue this.  Next week's #'s will probably be the same, if not higher, and then they will once again decline below the ps3.

Well since the 360's is on back order to atleast July 13th...if numbers decline at all it will be because there is no product to fill the orders.  Other than that it seems foolish to think 360s numbers will decline anytime soon due to lack of interest. But as far as WW sales are concerned I'm sure PS3 will climb back ahead of the 360 in the next couple of weeks considering Japan should decline significantly.



I know it is on backorder, but you can still go to Amazon right now and order a 360 slim, it just won't be fulfilled until july 13th.  This slim that you order, despite not being fulfilled at the moment, will still be counted towards the sales #'s.  In the case of Starcraft 2, not a single one of those orders has been fulfilled yet, and it has been extremely high in the charts for a couple of months now.

Yea, apparently I don't remember, it hit 582k the week of the price cut and 755k for black friday.  I was considerably off, but the 360 sales aren't even close to this now, and no, aug. 30th-sept. 6th are not holiday sales either.

worldwide

the 360s isnt out in most of the world yet.

But it is out in its biggest consumer market, and at best i think first week worldwide combined will be just over triple of what its just done in the US.

I would trade my 360 elite in on a new Slim model if I could only find one to do so.  

 

I want a slim BAD!!

 

I will go out on a limb here and say that there will be a continued boost in sales for some time yet.  Most of my friends on live want one too and plan on getting one when they get the spare $.  Just like the PS3 Slim, don't expect these numbers to slow down in just a few weeks.  Microsoft has actually gotten people interested in a 360 again and that is a good thing ( as long as you like 360's ).  Kinect will give the 360 a much bigger boost in sales and I do believe that the 360 will have its biggest year to date once the years finished.
