All this talk about predictions has got me thinking. I think I might have a mind-blowing one as well as a not-quite-so-mind-blowing one up my sleeve but I'll hold back on them for now until the overall picture becomes a bit more clear. Maybe early August. But if the first one does happen it will be truly mind-blowing on a scale that I don't think this site has ever seen. Even you would be shocked Kow.


Lool reminds me for Bungie :D


lol, you don't even know what they are yet. Don't worry, I'll reveal them even if I end up being dead wrong. Things are just in too much flux right now.

Another 2 to 3 weeks and we should see where the 360 baselines again in the US.  Now we're looking at 5 to 6 weeks to see the same for Others.  Japan is already back to baseline.

PS3 selling well in the face of the new 360 so I don't think we're going to see any major swings one way or the other out of this, so I guess soon it'll be all eyes on Move and Kinect to see how they upset the applecart.

PSP remains very week worldwide and would be really bad if not for Japan.

Nothing much in SW apart from the decent (but modest in size) start for Crackdown 2.

I do remain curious about the ratio of new 360 owners to existing owners buying Slims, as the SW for 360 doesn't seem to be seeing much of a boost from the Slim sales.  I'm working on the assumption that anyone who waited for the clearance sale on the old models wouldn't be spending a lot on new SW but instead are probably hitting the second hand market, but I'd expect a big glut of new Slim owners to start buying up the core titles but there doesn't seem too much evidence for that.

It's so hard to tell though.

Don't know if we see the same in Others for 5-6 weeks, I expect it only for 2-3, mainly because there was a pre-order time in Others for 4 weeks. So I guess first week there will be very huge (better than in NA), but it will fall faster in the following weeks.

Honestly, I assume the exact same thing. I think many replaced their old 360 because the new one is simply better. One of the main reasons may be that the slim doesn't have RROD anymore (and I heard that it's also not as loud as the old one, not sure about this). And I would even do the same if I used my Xbox more often.


3 weeks should probably give a good view but I prefer another few weeks over that to really see how the weekly sales are looking after a major launch or change of price.

As for existing owners buying new model... well, that's an interesting question.  I get the feeling that more existing 360 owners are buying the new 360 than existing PS3 owners bought the new PS3 model, but it's very hard to tell for sure.

Clearly with the 360s being touted as much quieter and much more reliable it should be more attractive to existing owners to upgrade than the PS3 Slim was - after all apart from saving power if you had a Phat with any form of BC plus the card readers and 4 USB ports a Slim was actually a step backwards, whereas the 360s is clearly a better spec than the existing model plus it for sure is quieter and it should (too early to say for sure obviously) be a lot more reliable.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I think you're right, but we can't be sure about anything. So I guess we have to wait at least till early august to make further assumptions.

Good opening for Crackdown 2. Good numbers all around. Can't wait to see 360 numbers in EMEAA.

Yes, EU launch should give XB360 at least another week, but maybe even two or three, above Wii WW.

the spin in here is hilarious.

Certain people try to make over 100k sales in one region look bad.

I can feel the anger


true story.

I expect a MS press release where they apologise for offering the Xbox 360 at a great price point.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Actually I can read. I read that the Arcade revision would be launched in the aftermath of Gamescon in August because of an Amazon.de leak. I can also remember, hence the reason why I am able to recall that information now.
