Good result for 360. Still I do not understand how do PS3 Software continues to oversell 360 Software.


I'm confused. It isnt.

According to VGC both Americas and WW the 360 software is comfortably outselling the PS3.

No it is not.

There are so many good things going on for MS.

  • Xbox 360S sells well (some shortages though)
  • Older price reduced Xbox 360 models are selling well (not much longer though)
  • Xbox 360S is not even released in Europe
  • Xbox 360S Arcade for $199 will sell big numbers once it will be released
  • Kinect preorders seem to be very good
  • Halo / Fable / CoD / Gears of War will sell shitloads of software
  • There still are various newly build 1st party studios we haven't seen anything from (Spawnpoint Studios / Firebird Studios / 343 industries)

    • If Windows Mobile 7 becomes a success, the EDD will post some great numbers.

    Agreed, but why mention CoD when it's multiplat?


    Because CoD will sell millions as well and MS will get a fee for every copy sold. The power of the CoD franchise combined with the other franchises I listed is nothing else but huge.

    Check may NPD. RDR did an awesome job on the Xbox 360 with one million copies sold in the first month. MS, just like every other hardware manufacturer, benefit from strong 3rd party sales.

    All of the games I listed have a very strong focus on the multiplayer. 6 games out of the current top10 Xbox Live titles will see a sequel this year or early next year (Gears 3). There are 25 million Xbox Live users already. With strong hardware sales, ESPN deal coming and this lineup of games, I can really see the Xbox Live numbers growing. Hulu won't hurt either. Just the fees for Xbox Live are probably about $700,000,000.00 today. I think MS has a shot to make ONE BILLION USD only with Xbox Live fees this gen.

    Ah, yeah, that's right. I was thinking purely from the "exclusive games" viewpoint. My bad.

    How much of those increased sales is due to the $50 rebate on Arcade/Elite and how much is boost due to Slim?


    in Japn,it's 15000 360S 2000 old 360

    http://www.m-create.com/ranking/

    Well that's an amazing ratio, but maybe Japan didn't have a $50 rebate on the old models?

    Yes, they had the rebate as well. So it was 14,900 yen Arcade, 24,900 yen Elite and 29,900 X360 S.

    Maybe due to poor sales of the old SKUs, street price was already close to the new one and so the cut had a smaller effect than the Slim compared to other countries.

    Here in Italy for example, before any official cut, you could find XB360 Arcade bundled with two games for around ~170€, now you can find it for as little as 149€, but bundled with just one game. People won't perceive either a big drop or value increase, so maybe the new XB Short will prevail here too during the first launch weeks.

    awesme for Xbox360, the thing is, if it can last from now on or if Natal can keeps up this momentum...



    don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

    it matters to software sales



    Sorcery on 03 July 2010

     

    I think these sales have proven that the 360's slim model and a $50 price cut on older models isn't going to give the 360 a significant, and long-lasting boost in sales.

     

     

    Console           PS3                X360
    Total               582,815         145,751

     

    First week sales post-slim launch for the PS3 look much more favorable. First week sales of the 360 slim are closer to third week sales of the PS3 slim launch.

    this is what happens when you have a fire sale of older models as well as release a new model which makes some people with older models trade theirs in for. Give it another two weeks and things will be back to normal.


    2 weeks...  ok. 

    I look forward to revisiting this with you.   

    US will still be up by at least 25% in 2 weeks (if MS can meet the HUGE demand that there is) and then 3 weeks from now the EU launch of the 360S hits.  

     

    I expect it too to settle to 20-30% more than before the cut, maybe in USA and UK closer to 30% and closer to 20% elsewhere, except during the slowest summer weeks.

    Curiously, despite not having big launches, PS3 is up too, WW, in America and in Japan, so it looks like it wasn't hurt by XB360 Short big launch, while Wii is down WW and in America, so I see no need for SDF to get defensive, er, more defensive than usual.     

    Or maybe everybody should get defensive: if XB360 was able to do so much in its 5th year, what could Apple consoles do when they eventually launch?
