Just horrible sales across the board.

Rubbish, 277k for X360 in its 6th July is great, 2nd highest July for the console by a margin.


277k with many being given out for free does not impress me. 


360 = 277

PS3 = 148

Considering how ps3 gamers are always raving about their 2011 exclusives versus 360 which isnt getting any big hitters until september.....id say thats downright embarrassing for Sony. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Have you looked at the figures? Its pretty clear Wii & PS3 didnt each drop almost 40% year over year, and so its X360 thats responsible for most of the drop in the industry now - not what Sony and Nintendo have done. This is particularly true given that X360 brings in more revenue than the other two do now each month. We know X360 is down 38% and PS3 / Wii are down a combined 28%. I'd imagine Wii and PS3 are both around 170k in NPD's figures - so they dropped maybe 80k / 45k while X360 dropped 200k, more than both combined.

LOL this is classic.

its crazy how you defend the 360 all the timebut when the source defends the wii you wanna get mad. Y=

I don't defend the 360 all the time, and I certainly don't come out with spin like that. Don't comment on things you have no idea on.

Eh, you don't though. If anything I've been less with impressed with Microsoft this year, regardless, Source always puts a negative spin on HD and a positive (or ignores completely) on Nintendo, thus mentioning 360 can dip below 7 mill in a 12 month period next monht, but ignoring Wii can go below 6 mill.

When he says stuff like that he never comes off like you do though, in my opinion.

I don't get it, i am supposed to be embarrassed because PS3 only sold 148k units this month and therefore that negates every PS3 exclusive i have played this year and will play in the next few months because of NPD. I think your post is pathetic.

Sony and America have not been the best of buddies this generation.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Wow Catherine overtracked massively. And I was rediculed when I pointed out how rediculous the pre-order chart was having Catherine higher than Halo CEA. Face it people, I haven't wrongly predicted a pre-order numbers mistake yet. That's what happends when you see real concrete numbers every single day

Anyways back OT 360 tracking pretty much spot on so congrats to Vgchartz. Have we figured out yet what the deal is with PS3 / Wii? Which is overtracked and by how much?


I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch on Catherine.  VGC has had better luck tracking smaller Japanese stuff over NPD a few times, specifically with Demon's Souls when Atlus came out with their shipped numbers and NPD's leaked numbers weren't even close.  We'll see if VG adjusts, hopefully the same situation as Demon's Souls happened with Catherine, don't want to think that such a cool game did that low to start.
