Great week for all console specially Wii 1m in US alone LOL.

GT5 4.6m should pass 5m by years end.

I dont get whats so bad about PS3 sales tho last year 360 sold 700k WW same time period and ppl were rejoicing but now ps3 sold near 900k its suddenly "bad" LMAO? really?..........

Heh, that's why sometimes you just have to close your eyes when you read some comments. The X360 is doing better, not PS3 doing much worse. Last year it had Slim, this Year X360 has Slim and Kinect (no Move came out earlier and isn't "really" popular or pushing hardware). And I don't want to say something because I'll get banned but, let's see what happens in late January =D just for the fun and the meltdowns. Inb4 Bu bu but... :p

Last year the PS3 had a redesign AND a $100 price cut.  This year 360 had a redesign and Kinect.  What's the difference?  360, with a $150 optional add-on pushed more consoles this holiday than a PS3 that was $100 cheaper last holiday.  So its not as simple a comparison as just slim-to-slim.

Last year 360 also had a price cut. People seem to be forgetting this.

the price cut was in 08,

the price cut was in 08,

It was actually in 09. Shortly after the PS price cut.


that was a clearance sale of the old arcades not a permeant cut.
there has not been a real cut since the cut of fall 08

There was a price cut on the the elite sku last year:

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/27/microsoft-confirms-xbox-360-price-cut-300-elite-on-friday-25/

In Europe its' price was cut by 50€, btw.

they just changed sku offerings,  they eliminated the real elite the new one came with they same stuff the old pro did just a larger hard drive and new color. and killed off the old elite reserving the even larger hard drive, and hdmi cable for special editions.

the new elite may be called elite, but its just a pro. no real price drop.

the bottom stayed 199. the middle stayed 299 and the top now only special editions/kinect is 399…..   wait does this mean special edition kinect versions will be 499? or will they hold that off till the next real price cut …

also this is all based on USA they could have dropped prices in europe i really don't know


At that point there was no kinect edition. The most expensive SKU saw a drop in price even in the US - $299 was the most expensive one that point (I think it was at $349 before that).

Edit: Oh well it seems to have been a $100 one then.

Umm, they eliminated the Pro, not the Elite. And the Elite dropped by 100$. So no, it was not just a pro.

But yeah, the bottom stayed 199.

they changed the old eltie, and took stuff out of it, yes they still call it the elite, but the lower price came with items removed, basically making it a pro with a larger hd

Well yea, I put 12 500 in Japan, because that's what it's gonna do probably, and no matter what, it's not really important x)

So what are going to be the meltdowns? All sales fall in jan. everyone expects it. SO there will be no Bu BU BU BUT!

... -_- You didn't understand, in late January there's something that will impact VGC data x) wait and see, I'm not talking about weekly sales or anything like that. =)

I think part of the reason (another part) is that unlike move, Kinect is pushing a whole of systems out. That is probably the big difference, this Kinect thing has gone insane in Australia, as of today.. yesterday (now 12:48 am) our store is sold out of Kinects and 250gb Kinect bundles, Kinect was sold out before christmas, we get them in they go out etc, 250 we had been getting a decent stream but finally the bastard sold out :p

But the main point in both EMEEA and NA Kinect is selling more systems then Move (so far) imo
