I apologize if that's what you think. Obviously selling 200k and selling out is good. I didn't choose the way the reporter or Pachter analized the facts, although I would assume that Pachter has access to more in-depth NPD data so I doubt he pulled the number out of thin air. I didn't highlight the article for negative spin. Anybody that reads it can clearly see that Pachter is just being a fool again. It's just here to offer a more in-depth breakdown of overall sales.

1st your comments in this thread sound like your pretty angry or that your in a bad mood

2nd idg what your saying please explain it for me "So of the 330k sold since the launch 200k were for the 360S"

3rd 1 for seece's comments but i think it will take longer than aug's npd to find out but by then we'll be in the holiday time/reach im from NA and im not trying to down the 360 but there are still alot of old skus on the shelves

forget it i got it kowen is right its about 60% for the 360S sales when it was available using the articles formula though

Thus is kowenicki. 

Well, even using the 60%, it still puts MS in a bad position (not talking about the Slim's sales numbers).  They just better push out that new Arcade model soon, before all of the old SKU's disappear.  Otherwise, there will go about 40% of there sales.

August time isn't holiday or Halo: Reach ... by then hopefully all older skus are whipped up.

?? yes it's that black and white?

They're having shortages (obviously), if they sort those out, for all you know sales could increase 40%.

These percentages mean nothing. If all the slims sold out, it doesn't matter if it's 30% of phats that contribuited, or 90%.

The thing is, Pachter isnt saying the S sold 40% during its sales period between this and that date, minus the initial sales of previous models combined blah blah blah. He's clearly saying that out of the 470k 360 sold in June, 40% were the S. Which is true? No? Yes?

Or am i missing some vital information to where Pachter is lying with those numbers? Cus i cant see it?

But the fact that the S sold 200k in 14 days, and the sales throught that period puts the S model to 60%, is just a positive spin on it and clearly shows that the S is doing great!

Im sorry, i've read the OP, the Wired linked Source and the Wired NPD link, both posted in the OP, but i cant find the "just 40%" ?

All i find is "Microsoft’s redesigned box accounted for 40% of the 451,700 Xbox 360s it sold in June, said Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter"

I do however see the "but discounted old hardware sold more", which is true.. but false, due to what you've already said.

PS: But i still dont see how anyone is lying or trying to spin things. They're just reporting the numbers as they read, with no side quest to make the sales of the S look any bigger or lesser than what they are. In June it sold 40% of total 360 sales.
