Yeah, 360! Finally, some redemption.


360 has already got quite a bit of  Redemption in May ;P



That was kind of lame! :P



 

Around the Network

This will likely be the high point for 360, all pre orders are pretty much filled, and the older consoles are slowly selling out in America. Combined with a Monster Hunter release in Japan and a full week of discounts in Others and you have a very solid week. 

Next week should see a decline in America and Japan and maybe a slight increase in Others. I would imagine next week it will be below Wii again but still above PS3. 

However, one thing that should  be encouraging to PS3 owners is software totals in a week where they were outsold 100k in hardware Sony soundly defeated the 360 in software. 

Otherwise a very good week for MS on the hardware side, Mario Galaxy 2 sold well again, Top 50 breakdown PS3 18, 360 12, Wii 10 (#1 overall but top loaded), DS 7, PSP 3. 

Right now it looks like 360 should beat PS3 until the move launch. 

Congrats MS fanboys



360 ALMOST > PS3, PSP, PS2 WW.

If these US sales continue a little longer then we could have some 250k plus weeks during July... certainly above 200k.

Pre-orders for the 360S in the UK for example are reported as very big.


Microsoft could eradicate the PS3 lead this year by Move launch, it's around 980k now.

Arc Rise Fantasia has not even released in the Americas market yet- it was delayed until July 27th. Where these numbers are coming from, I have no clue, but the 23k people that bought it dont exist.

And I agree, Galaxy numbers while good, can never compare to those of the 2D beast in NSMB Wii so they look tame in comparison.

Awesome XB360 in America, I guess at least there the sales surge after Slim launch will last more than average before settling around a number that will be higher than that before Slim anyway, just like it happened to PS3.

Nintendo should worry now, because after all the fuss it's doing about glasses-free 3D, it won't be able to launch Wii2 until a glasses-free tech is available and affordable for home TVs, so it must just hope Wii sales hold enough.

Not really, Nintendo will still easily get 1st place every year, probably even every month worldwide till the end of this gen.

@X360 sales: Impressive, the US really love the 360.

If Nintendo will be happy of just being again 1st WW, there should be no problem, if it wants to keep on overkilling, it will have instead, maybe not to worry, but to learn to accept a less overwhelming way of winning.
