its impressive when a game can cause such an increase in hardware.. it makes you wonder with the game being a sequel why all these new purchasers didnt have a 360 to begin with.. impressive numbers

Well not all the purchasers will be new - i.e. some will be fans trading in existing 360s for Gears 3 custom consoles. Happens with all titles like this - for example in Japan with FFXIII custom PS3 a part of the boost would have been the same thing, fans trading in a vanilla PS3 for a Lightning PS3.

A fair bit of the boost will be new gamers though as well, as a growing franchise, as Gears is, will draw in people with each installment and a big new game also nudges a few extra people over the line to go ahead and buy. Normally for new games the spike is only for one week maybe two at best and then the baseline reasserts itself.

Everything else looks in line with current trends so there's not much else to say until SW numbers are posted.

ah right thanks for clearing that up.

either way a lot of the sales will be new customers so it just goes to show the power of the word of mouth, if you make a game good enough people are gona buy the hardware to play it.

i bought my ps3 just for mgs4

undertracked...? has to be..? any evidence?

presumably you mean in comparison to NPD?

You do know its the 360 that is most 'undertracked' in comparison to NPD right?

i never said xbox wasn't undertrack even though that was from the free 360 computer deal but there is no way ps3 is back to what it used to be in a matter of 3/4 weeks and ps3 is also undertracked in australia and new zealand.

i really wish sony/microsoft should release there numbers by the end of this month to make it right, because i also don't believe uncharted 3's pre order numbers...

Yeah. Like. Everybody, rushed out to buy a computer just to get a free console. Otherwise, it would have negative sales.

This thing about Australia is such a red herring.

If it is undertacked there (and it clearly seems to be) then it also must be overtracked elsewhere...

The VGC numbers and the last shipment numbers actually indicated the PS3 being slightly overtracked if anything.

....and the 360 is only performing well because of a "free" 360 deal... yeah ok... well lets see shall we.

i don't think i ever said 360 didn't perform well and it did get a boost from the free laptop deal...
