I'm sorry but there's just WAY more evidence pointing to the 360 slim as being the biggest reason for the 360 selling so well.

wat evidence

1. Look at how Japan 360's sold.  Out of the 17k 360's sold last week about 15k of them were slims, and the old arcade and elite models got discounted yet still only sold a bare minimum (about 2k)  You can bet that America had about the same ratios as Japan.

no we cannot say that AMERICA had same ratios like JAPAN

and unlike America,there were 360 shortages before SLIM so people didn't find the old ones which were avaiable in US

so only one version being avaiable so what else will people buy.and the monster hunter releasing.

so i say

Monster hunter boost

360 SLIM boost

360 ARCADE and ELITE sales shifting to SLIM sales as the former weren't available in stock

2. The old 360 models are still in abundance in America, and you know MS stopped production for those models around E3 (otherwise they wouldn't be trying to phase them out)  

yes they stopped production but we don't know id they had inventry or not and hence the price cut.

also people wouldn't buy ELITE at $299 cause they will be getting SLIM for that

the price cut wouldn't be needed if ARCAE and ELITE were availalbe scare and hence they brought sales

3. The Slim 360's were (and still are for the most part) in HUGE demand for America, pre-orders were backed up and finding a slim console was quite a chore if you didn't pre-order iot before.

it doesn't mean 360 SLIM were selling BIG,it could also be that SLIM had low shipment so they sold out faster

4. Do you seriously think MS shipped less then 80k slim consoles when they KNEW the demand was going to be extremely high for them.  Bets are they shipped well over 120k slim 360's

yes they could have if they wanted to clear the ARCADE and ELITE and retailers could have forced them to do it as retailers would lose out if the old units didn't sell

and we don't know what the demand for it is

Bets doesn't prove anything.

I know you don't like hearing that a $299 360 was the main reason why the 360 hardware was so high but it is what it is....you just gotta live with it.

"just gotta live with it"..........................lmao

and you have inconclusive evidence so you prove nothing

we will see how the SLIM effect only after a month or two and even then if the arcade and ELITE have been taken off the retail shelf and not available

Don't take console wars so personally man....its ok they're just awesome pieces of plastic.

stop talking like an elderly

You don't need to get so uppity about a console you dislike outselling a console you love cause you're still getting awesome games and thats really all that matters in the end.

bullshiting

And your right I shouldn't have said fact but I was just typing something really quick up.  I took the word out...you happy now?

then you should type slowly and read you comment before you post it

I've said time and time again Kinect could fail

You've never said anyting of the sort regarding Sony.

Lol ok you win man 360 slim only accounted for a tiny portion of US's and Japans sales recent and the huge majority of sales were due to the 500k normal 360's laying around the America's and such.

your supporting people saying KINECT will definately be better than anything and sell more and 360 selling more

says something else about you

i haven't said KINECT or MOVE will fail,but i haven't either said any of them will win either

I really wouldn't bother with him, his mind will never be changed on anything and he paints the best case scenario for Sony and the worst case scenario for Microsoft.

Time will soon weed out the excuses.
