Bump.. updated now over 13k ahead. lets hope it maintains this now.

Hope?  

kowenicki, no offense but I was originally under the impression this was an analytical thread, not a cheerleading one.  The 360 is selling well and will continue to sell well whether it hits 50 mil this year or not.

As for how its tracking, I sure wasn't sure if it would but I knew it could.  The Reach bump was more than I thought and the initial Kinect bump has been very impressive considering the 2-3 day week as well as the single (though biggest) region release.  Word of mouth has also been good, so the normal holiday bump supplemented by a big release (CoD:BO) likely means this week too will have a nice bump in NA.  The EMEAA bump, though, will be the one to watch.  If it is comparable, this week could have a SIGNIFICANT increase.  

So, long story short, the evidence leans toward a YES response to the thread question.  Regardless, its fun to watch.

 


No offense taken.

It is an analytical thread...  I have always been interested in this type of analysis, as I am sure you know from past news items and threads.  Howewver this isnt a a news item and therefore I dont mind saying I hope it makes it.  I WANT the 360 to make it and I sincerely hope it does.  Whats wrong with that? 

If that's what you want to present, then nothing.  I just think threads like this can be be much more effective if they impartiality is maintained by the TC.  This site has enough cheerleaders, particularly some fanatical ones, that I personally feel the goal would be more dignified if simply reported instead of celebrated.

But that just goes for you as the TC.  The rest of us can cheer it on.  ; )

Oh, and PLEASE just ignore Yuyyder.  Post history demands it.

Very bizzare, why do you think Kowen did this thread in the first place? I doubt he would have if he didn't think and want it would do it, and there is nothing wrong with cheering it on. I doubt he has done this for the PS3 fans on the site ...

I think it will sell around 49.5 million to be honest but if it can reach 50 million then that would be an impressive feat for the 360 and maybe you should track the 360 and PS3 to see how they both do through the holiday's.

ooohhh I dont know.... 

lol, even so, the thought of you having to be impartial just not to piss off any PS3 fans (as if they should be visiting this thread anyway) is laughable.

It is 120k behind after emeaa, so yeah at least 100k ahead after US numbers.

On track for a 13 million selling year, pretty good going for a console entering it's 6th year.

oops... hang on.. there is an adjustment to factor in...

I will update shortly.

when does kinect launch in japan. Something needs to give over there. I think it is pure hate for the americans over there. Maybe kinect can turn a little of that hostility around.

It's be close, but I don't know if they'll sell 800K for Black Friday week. I'll be surprised if they sell that much. It'll be cool if they make 50 million. That'll be a huge milestone for XBox and Microsoft.

From here on the numbers will come back towards 2008 levels. I think it'll come down to WE 18 and 25 Dec as to whether it officially makes the 50 mill. But it's going to be wilthin 1% at least, which is margin for error stuff. If MS ships >52 million LTD by 1 Jan then it will effectively be 50 million sell through.

I'll answer my own question. Kinect releases tomorrow or on the 20th of november in japan. Yestureday(18th of nov.) it launched in New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. Lets wait and see what the numer will show for these area's.

I'm really curious to know what it does in japan.

I hope this is M$'s welcome entrance into the  unpenatrable Country, atleast for M$.

I think we should see good sales for black friday for kinect and the 360. People are waiting to get this in hopes of a deal.
