Forums - Sales - Xbox 360 S enjoys bigger launch than PS3 Slim (according toGfK)

^You guys got to stop cherry picking these numbers. Just give credit where credit is due.

Both consoles sold amazingly after redesign, just leave it at that. The end.

360 gets a extra star as it didn't have a 25% price cut on the new model.

Look, I'm not trying to take away from the achievement the 360 has made with its redesign. I give credit where credit is due. I personally didn't think it would have done this well because you may have included wi-fi and boosted the HDD, but I didn't think those were things gamers cared about *that* much. At least not so much so as to increase the sales of the 360 like 500% or whatever it did. ESPECIALLY when buying a 360 the week before June 14th and the week after would have cost you the same amount of money.

I was wrong, and the strategy has obviously had positive gains and was successful. I'M just saying that all these articles popping up about the 360 did better in JUST the UK or JUST the US on it's redesign than the PS3 is moot because in the grand scheme of things, the PS3s redesign launch SOLD MORE.

Saying things like "it sold better than the PS3 in UK" is like when Aaron Greenberg said Halo 3 did better than Uncharted 2, GoW3, Heavy Rain, etc. in total sales...when he was only referring to America. And everyone jumped on him for it, and they were right to do so

LOL I like how after "The end" there's "360 gets a extra star" ROFL! =p



360 is just such a beast in the UK



Really at this point it's far too early to be making predictions on the slim 360's performance, particularly in PAL after seeing those SW numbers. Wait 2 or 3 weeks and see where sales are then.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

I am skeptical on this, be waiting for official numbers as the pre-sale data has been wrong on the 360S so much recently.

fixed.


I guess you overlooked how I explained things with basic economics, but whatever. Arguing is moot as well. 

360 had a very successful Slim launch and the sales show it. End of story. Just don't try and take every scrap you can to make it look more impressive than the competitor when it doesn't



I think the redesign has done better in its first 2 days than most people around here thought it would do in its first 3 weeks. 

I am very happy that this has boosted sales because the 360 certainly deserves it.  Now if only the Kinect device can do this and more....

Well, they did on the older models, which I'm sure would be included.
