Something about the Xbox 360 number doesnt seem right, has VGChartz ever been that far off on a console before?

I saw this posted on GAF but didn't bother posting it here, nobody knows if they are counted by NPD or not... It's likely that they aren't anyway.

Well it does end up on the receipt, so it should go through as a sale.  

 And Sony is giving free PS3s with Bravias for ages now so - no...

Actually the deal with the PC is actually a good deal, and it encourages individuals to purchase the console. Personally I think that is an excellent move on microsoft's part. 

The TV deal however is pretty bad (As in not really a huge encouragement). It makes some sales, but I doubt it is really a huge system seller. 

Yeah, someone just said it was confirmed they were sales.

So if VGChartz aint tracking them (Afaik, they never tracked the PS3's given away with Bravia's), then it explains a big portion of the 200k difference I guess.

I sold my 360 with Kinect this week and I got like 50 calls in 2 days. Most of the calls I got were women who were interrested in Kinect and Dance Central... my add had DC and Kinect Sports. The demand for Kinect and 360 is huge now I expect the sales to keep getting higher as we approach the holydays.

If you think about it, after E3, Microsoft secured the casuals for sure. All the games they presented, Disney Kinect, Star Wars Kinect, Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports 2 and a bunch of AAA exclusive core games like Forza 4, Halo RE, Gears 3, Witcher and to top it off a lot of people believe that games that has the Xbox logo at the end of a commercial is exclusive to 360... go figure.

I needed the money badly and sold my Elite, will buy a Slim later this year. I hope they make a Halo bundle like the Reach one.

How many PS3's do you think have been sold with Braviers over the years Carl?

OK,  now everything makes perfect sense.  I didnt think a bunch of $50 gift card deals could drive sales that high.
