So which is it, the 4 gb Slim was only out for a couple of days? Or even at that it is suppose to have a bigger impact? Because I don't see how it can be judged as not doing well if it was only out a couple of days and perhaps not out at all in some of the EMEAA.

That's what i have been trying to say.

I think the Xbox 360 result reflects the release of the 4GB revision model in the EU. Thats the reason why the sales remained steady for another week from what I can see.


Oh yeah, I forgot this was when the Arcade launched. I'm surprised it didn't go up, even if only marginally.

It was only a couple of days and it was only a few countries in Others not the entire market which had the console released.

Is the new Arcade released in USA yet?

It was released on the 2nd of this month. There was a small boost and the rate of sales decay fell since then.



Tease.

no Arcade bump ? :(

I am not sure you would expect to see a significant bump for the Arcade during a period of slow sales. Also it literally only just went on sale and with little advertising so not really surprising. A lot of the emphasis at the moment in the UK is getting the kids ready to go back to school. We have the long weekend coming then its back to school.

It may keep the numbers steady for a few weeks but that is about it. The real money is on the holiday sales.

Considering the price just announced for the add-on 250GB HDD drive and that most people suspected it even before the announce, given MS' record, I'm not surprised Arcade gave a small bump, just slowing sales fall. People knowing they'd eventually need to buy a MS add-on drive won't buy an Arcade, it's the worst value in this case.

Unlikely as a 4gb with a USB stick option would work, I very much doubt that the persons purchasing the Arcade gave it much thought.

YAY GO PS3!!

It will be very close to Wii Worldwide this week!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Holy shit where is the month going? I didn't realize it's already the 26th. Oh well that much closer to Reach and those nice new consoles.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
