So we all agree 360 is ovetracked here.



actually seems spot on

Pretty much.  Would only be ~ 1 mil difference, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be the norm.

So it's safe to say these are shipped numbers.

 

And lol at Greenberg getting scared that the gap was almost gone

He knew all along it wasn't almost gone so why would he be scared? I doubt he goes to Major Nelson for 360 HW figures!!


Major Nelson is a Manager at XBox Live.  His 42 million number probably was number of consoles connected to XBox Live (Given that all the other stats are Live related that makes sense).  Which would not include non-connected consoles nor shipping numbers.

Greenberg was simply responding to a question asked by a reporter...  Had nothing to do with being scared.

i somehow doubt that there are 42 million consoles are connected to Xbox Live



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

well it seems we will get to see some more adjustments next week.



damn there so many adjustments lately but this adustment will make the 360 lead bigger again.

Yup, especially with 25 million unique users... It is in the same news. READ IT!

I am more impressed by the time spent on the Xbox 360. That is sick.

Someone asked where Xbox Live will expand, so here you go:

  • Russia
  • Poland
  • Brazil
  • Hungary
  • Czech Republic
  • Colombia
  • Chile
  • South Africa
  • Greece

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

And  50% of those are gold user . So about 13 million players online.



It makes sense given they are shipping Kinect Bundles now etc.



Tease.

It is more than 50%. That is what MS said. My guess is about 60%, but anyway the 25 million XBL figure is months old anyway. Halo Reach might have pushed this number quite a bit, the price increase as well (people buying subscriptions as long as they are cheap)

Buy yeah 13-14 million paying subscribers is awesome. I think this is the smartest thing MS could have done. Look at Sony: Selling 6 million profitable consoles (PS2, PS3, PSP) and barely making a profit. Nintendo selling 1.9 million Wii and XX million DS and reports a 25 million USD loss. MS sells 2.8 million consoles and reports almost a 400 million USD profit even with the losses made by WinMo 7, Zune and the 70 million R&D for something unknown. etc. Xbox 360 and Xbox Live profits could be near 500 million if you ask me.

Sure Yen killed it for Sony and Nintendo to some degree, but MS business model seems to work well for them. There is a reason why Sony created PSN Plus.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

It's shipped.  From a company it's always shipped whether they sold or whatever.  It'll be something a bit below 45 million rounded up - which makes VG number pretty good.

This is just him correcting his earlier number in line with official MS shipped numbers from their reports.

What's curious is the slip of the tongue where he put 42 million before.  Was that his internal view of sold through to customer or just a typo?



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

I love how every time Sony come up with their sales, Aaron shows up contradicting MS's numbers just to say they sold more.

MS: We sold "X" number of units
Sony: We sold "Y" number of units
Aaron: We meant to say we sold "Y 1" number of units
