wii and 360 are doing great although they have Kinect and Red Wii but PS3 which has nothing special out,  sells about the same as them, is somehow not doing great?

Get over yourself, All the consoles are doing well, and 99k during Kinect release is amazing to me.

Did you check the weekly sales last year after black friday? =) PS3 was above x360.

Worldwide Hardware

Americas Hardware

I love how the american 360 is being hugely supported by the American public!!!!

Lets see how much kinect takes away sales in europe from ps3 also

It seems Kinect gave the PS3 a boost this week.

Great numbers and Kinect Domination on the Top 10 America charts is impressive stuff.

But great numbers for all except PSP again...

awesome job for the 360, well deserved. the ps3 and wii also did truly good jobs as well. the ds business are usuall it seems. cant wait too see what kind of boost kinect will give the 360 next week and then what japan can give.

That is completely not true. Sales of many game titles are very front loaded, sure, but that rule isn't true with hardware sales. Kinect's hardware boost will last through the entire holiday season.

Looking back at 2008, when X360 had a real price cut, GTA momentum, COD, a decent run in Japan etc the figures aren't dramatically different yet even with Kinect. I'm still somewhat suspicious that this will be Microsoft's best Dec quarter for hw by a country mile. It looks slightly better, when I run COD / Kinect / BF in my models for Nov / Dec but we're talking 6m in sell through for Oct-Dec 2010 vs. 5.8m in Oct-Dec 2008. USA retailers continue to sell out of Kinect sensors, but no widespread sellouts of hw kinect bundles...which is a good result but its not pushing many systems. Only 1/6 Kinects are pushing hw it seems, the equivalent of a really big game.

X360 sales over the five weeks ending week one of Nov are 1.10m in 2010, and 1.08m in 2008. That includes the Americas Kinect launch in 2010. I'd expect November to be up on 2008 and December too. But by how much remains an open question.

PS3 is also down by 100k over the past five weeks compared to those weeks of 2009. GT5 should reverse that through the end of Nov to neutrel to slightly positive. But whether December is up or down...is an open question. My gut says down but we'll see. Wii is obviously down on last year, as it laps the price cut, but the distance it is down has been shrinking rapidly. Sell through looks good for 9m again vs. 12m last year. For shipments, probably 9m is doable, down from 11.3m last year.

Wow 360!! awesome numbers!

The Holiday season has begun.  Demand for Kinect seems to be picking up this week, I'm expecting a huge black friday run on Kinect.  Also I think Sony is making a very smart move getting GT5 out for Black Friday.  There is never a better time to sell software when literally millions of american consumers are in the store.
