Microsoft sold through another 2.5m X360s. In the December 2010 quarter, Microsoft sold through 10% more systems than it shipped according to VGChartz data - 7m sold vs. 6.3m shipped. Thus shipments are likely around 2.3m units this quarter as Microsoft burns through more stock.


the VGC preview of 360 shipment even less

Have they not used logic incorrectly.

They are saying that MS sold more than they shipped in last Qtr (Oct - Dec, 2010).  So this means that the retailers were low on stocks.

Plus they said that 2.5 more are sold to customer in this Qtr ( jan - Mar, 2011)

So now MS has to ship what they sold to the customers MS has to ship to retailers to fill their stocks also which were got low in last Qtr due to more system sold to the customers then shipped..

So it should be

2.5M (sold to customer this Qtr) 200k to 300k (for the retailers to refill stock).

Thing is they have two products to cut... kinect and the console itself.

I'd discontinue the standalone 4gb

Then somehow manage a $199 to 4gb with kinect that would flyyyyy  (which represents a $50 kinect reduction and a $50 360 cut)

add on top a 250gb with Kinect at $299.

plus a standalone 250gb at $229

ambitious but massive over the holidays if they pulled it off.

 


Saying something is affordable doesn't mean that it serves their percieved interests in implementing it. Of all the current console makers Microsoft has the best long term case for having slim margins on hardware because their business model is the most robust of the three in terms of gathering revenue and the current Xbox 360 profit results are proof of this. The entry price of the Xbox 360 could be $129, 149, 169 or even $199 depending on their goals and priorities by the end of the year. We simply cannot easily tell ahead of time what they might prioritise so their actions aren't easy to predict.



Tease.

kowenicki oh you lol



kowenicki said:

so you presumably expect that the PS3 should be adjusted down quite a bit now then... ?

Yes.

By the way, you bumped the thread for that? Oh dear...

You're either way too attached to MS, or you're just upset you're gonna be fighting relegation next season.

aww thats just mean... I clearly touched a raw nerve didnt . lol.  Come on POSH!!!!

and yes I did bump it for that, I like rattling cages...

I may also be reminding a few other here of their usual calls for a downward adjustment of the 360 when there is a relatively small ship/sale gap.   Anyway looks like Sony really did stuff that channel after all.

Hey, keep saying it and it will eventually be true

I just wonder where ethomaz is

Waiting for the GT5 shipment number to salvage something,  if thats low too, we may never see him ever again.

Honestly, if VGChartz is right... Then they likely wont have shipped a single copy since December.

6,370,000 shipped as of Dec.

6,204,764 sold as of mid-May.

~6.1 Million at end of March.



                            

Xbox 360, Kinect, Windows 7/WP7 are all amazing......Microsoft deserves the increased profit.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M
