USA and UK are the main places 360 is big

 

there it will be hyped up and sell big until year ends and then normal decline


I would say Canada is 3rd in 360 oriented popularity (pretty much mirrors USA) and is up there with those two countries for sure, as im in Canada...

I don't expect Kinect or Move to sell big anywhere, honestly, and thats because the Wii beat them both to the punch years ago, regardless of Ps3/360 popularity by region. That just my opinion.

yeah canada was a big 360 ground but its losing ground there not like US and UK where it still sells more or equal

Austin, TX. Kinect = sold out. Checked out, Walmart, Frys, Best Buy, Game Stop, and random smaller local videogame stores. So in the US Kinect is a hit. I dunno about other countries. And no, it's not cuz I have enough time, it's cuz I want one.

nah i was talking about the shipped canadian figures

about  the US and UK figures,i was talking about the recent figures and the weekly tracking not the numbers from the back of the gen

 

like few week ago PS3 and 360 figures were equal in UK. and other times 360 usually oversells it by a bit or alot

 

but normally other places than UK,US PS3 beats the 360 so that was the point that US,UK are the strongholds of 360



Around the Network

Why are some people classifying this topic as a doom thread? I'm just wondering if Microsoft over shipped or if demand isn't actually as high as anticipated. I mean seriously MS did expect to sell 5-million units this holiday season, that is a crap load so maybe they over supplied.

Also its interesting to see how the Canadian market is doing differently then as one user put it (Texas). I wonder why the thing isn't sold out in Canada?

So you have chartrack numbers for the U.K market ??  NPD numbers for the Canadian market ??  Just curious since you seem so sure that the ps3 and the xbox360 are selling equal there ...

I'm Canadian and I didn't know NPD released regular Canadian numbers. I hear like once a year about Canada. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft don't often credit Canada in their numbers either, they call it North America and bundle Canada's sales into their american numbers. Is their a website that tracks Canadian numbers, I would love to get ahold of a link, that site would be so helpful

SO YOU DIDN'T READ MY REPLY

 

if you did,do you know the meaning of shippedf numbers,they aren't the ones tracked by npd

and the uk numbers were from VGC itself

 

me saying 360 sold bettan than or equal to PS3 makes me being sure aboute PS3 and 360 selling equal there????????

 

you need a lesson in english to understand the language better



I shall be travelling into Portsmouth and will check out Game I am pretty sure they will have none on the shelves. I can be pretty sure of this because it has not released yet in the UK.

I will also be going to Hawkins Bazaar and TK Max again I am pretty sure they will not have any Kinect systems in stock either.

Lastly I will try Subway.
