2 days of sales. Only 2 friggin days of sales. 

If it was a whole week, would we have seen 300k ?

Well done M$. 2010 is clearly M$ year now. With Reach and Kinect plus a brand new Arcade 360s on the way for October the rest of the year will definately be 360 on top. The wii may get the odd week like last week, but this year is 360 > both PS3 and Wii WW sales for the entire year. ( Obviously I dont mean Wii PS3 together )

Selnor called it first.

That is highly, highly unlikely. Impossible even, the Wii moved over 4 million units in December alone last year and had five million selling weeks during the holiday season so even if it may be down by 20% or so there's no way either HD console will match that.

calm down mate... thats not going to happen.

and the 7 days v 2 days doesnt work like that when you have a period of pre-ordering.


Have we gotten GFk numbers for outside the UK? Where are they? I'm genuinely curious.

Yeesh, that was fast... guess I'm waiting another week to update the Million Sellers Guide haha.

Anywho, fantastic hardware for the 360, bigger this week in Others than last week WW. Still, the fact that the 360 is posting a WoW software decline is somewhat disappointing considering the massive Hardware jump. Ah well. *shrugs*

Good to see Galaxy 2 posting impressive numbers. It definitely deserves it. ^_^

These sales makes me feel sick. I know 360 will own this holiday and 2011.

I will have  to wait until another price cut in late 2011 to see ps3 takesback the lead.



You feel sick because a piece of gaming hardware with one logo on it is selling better than a piece of gaming hardware with a different logo on it? I think you need to get out more.

I get out more than enough. If a simple sentence from a forumer makes you worried, then you should listen to your advice.


ROFL don't get all defensive. I'm not worried at all. I could really care a less if you're some sort of uber nerd whose happiness is directly tied to his favourite console winning a sales race. I just find it amusing. All fanboys amuse me. Not just you. You're just the first one to admit feeling physical illness based on sales figures.

Holy Hannibal!  I wasn't expecting 200k sales for the 360!

360 is probably gonna hit over 300k this week.

Congratulations to 360 for all these sales. They deserve it after all the mocking they've received. 360 slim looks pretty awesome.

Got to love the remarks by people "got to be expected"... what a load of BS. If what track said was true the 360s just pwned any revised console in history including the PS2. I doubt many predicted that at all!

To sell over 200k in a week is amazing and if my numbers are right put's it in some regions on par with the consoles actual orgional release. This is just a new model, not even a price cut! That is what makes it truely astonishing.

What makes it even more amazing is if 360 posts another 100k-150k over the PS3 in Europe over next few weeks the 360 will have OUTSOLD PS3 in EUROPE for 2010. Who would of thought that. 

I to was surprised by the number at first, but when you think about it it really isn't that strange(although i would have guessed closer to 100k-150k). People have been waiting and pre-ordering the new model for weeks, alot of them trading in their old models(here the amount of used X360 being offered right know is insane.)

Also that last sentence was a joke right? Numbers will go down to 100K or less in a few weeks, just look at other regions. 


I think you forget that this is just a new sku, one that is the same price as the previous most expensive 360. The new cheaper arcade slim will be the one that drives 360 sales into the next 12 months.

The gap between the 360 and PS3 in europe is just 223k for 2010. If we look at the data for this year and include only full weeks (not using 3rd jan data as 4 days were from 2009) we see PS3 has sold 1.396m and 360 has sold 1.173m. This is for 7 months data off of the back of a ps3 price cut and new model.

This weeks numbers only represent 1-2 day's of the slim being on sale due to it's release on the 16th. Next week will see a full weeks sale. You would again expect it to be around the 100k-150k mark. Meaning the PS3-360 gap could be down to 123k by next saturday. The following week see's pay day in the UK, i would expect a lot of people to buy a 360s around this point so again would expect 360s sales to be around 100k. Making the ps3-360 gap potentially at around 70k. Over the next couple of weeks i would expect that number to be brought down to 0. And if it hasen't the release of the arcade is end august/september will wipe out whatever was remaining.

I agree the new Arcade model is the one to watch, if the rumors of 4gb storage and a $150 pricetag are true(i would still say atleast $199 or the current model would have to come down in price). But on the other hand alot of people seem to be upgrading their old model, so if you want a cheap X360 you are better of looking for a used elite.

Well the 360 slim arcade is $199.

Translated into Pounds is around £109. = mega sales
