I'm not lying... everytime Microsoft sold to [their] consumer... retailers... not me and you.

We can discuss if the real sold is near the Microsoft figure or not... but their number are shipped.


They (microsoft) have said several times their previous numbers were sold to consumers. What dont you get... or is it a case of you wish the numbers were different?

Prediction : 360 will outsell Wii in Dec NPD.


See this is what I got from MS' press conference. They said they have been ahead for 6months. Who are they competing against in these numbers, is it just PS3 then VGC will have the hardware order correct, but if it is wii as well, something was wrong.

With Kinect being undertracked so much,I'm starting to wonder how off VGchartz is with the 360 HW.

Not so much... Microsoft said Xbox 360 sold (aka shipped) over 50 million... so VGC data is on spot now.... over 50 million.

Maybe Kinect sales is more to existing users and not new ones.


Weird question, if it was just to existing users, why are MS software sales up. Aren't most of the consoles down? MS is doing incredibly well with Software, where I work most are new customers for the Kinect, do research before you use maybes perhaps?

Excellent numbers! Kinect is doing well above MS' expectations!

Did you all see the link Nsanity posted to Greenberg's Twitter page:

"We have no channel inventory, so essentially the same #....every Kinect we make we sell."


Unless they shipped all 8 million in the US, yes Mr Greenberg.

Like he can ONLY track US? Sure there is gonna be some stock on shelves, but you people making out he think's US = world more than he does.

Well it clearly depends how much over 50m they are talking about... I doubt VGC is much off, but I expect we will see an upward adjustment for the 360 by late January.  The NPD thread will be a monster this month.

Kinect sales to existing owners?  Have you been paying attention the last few weeks?... you do know the 360 sold 1m for 2 weeks straight right?  I'm pretty sure a lot of new adopters are down to Kinect, and so it will continue through 2011.

 

Agreed with everything...

I meam the difference... VGC undertracked Kinect but not 360... so the 1-2 million under here was just for Kinect and not for 360.... so maybe these case sold to existing users.

You don't know how much they've shipped yet .. if it's 52 mill shipped then we're likely spot on. 53 million or higher and it starts getting etchy.

June
July
August
September
October
November

--> past 6 months.

December is n.a. yet. But the Wii probably won by a couple 100k



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

If 52m ou 53m Microsoft would have said "more than 52m" or "over 53m".

This is fairly simple... so Microsoft shipped between 50,000,001 and  50,999,999.
