Nice increase for the Xbox 360. This just helps valid the Xbox 360 as the "Shooter Box" with the release of Gears. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm just saying it's becoming more and more evident the target audience of the console.

sigh....


What are you sighing about?  The Xbox 360 got a substancial boost because this is what these buyers want.  More power to them and Microsoft.

Double sigh....

X360 should outsell PS3 by about 35k I think.

But despite the great numbers this week, I find it very, very hard to believe that the X360 will be the no.1 console this year, if they don't cut the price.

PS3 back were it was and considerably down YoY despite price cut. Not doing too hot in America really... I also think it'll be hard for PS3 to hit the 15m forecast, though it's still more likely.

Wii is dying even in the Americas now, it needs Zelda and more SW. Though it may surprise us these holidays as it has done every year.

3DS doing good numbers still.

SW wise, Gears does awesome numbers and will easily outsell its predecessors. Kinect, on the other hand, is doing rather badly and it's a mystery how it'll perform these holidays.

Resistance numbers quite bad, too.

Wow! America's Gears of War 3 first week sales are greater than Gears 2's WW first week. Looking good!



Signature goes here!

That's a pretty big boost for 360 considering the price difference from the PS3. (I hate you MS for being so greedy, just do a price cut, your system is cheaper!)

I'm really loving Gears, I hope this game break 8 million WW lifetime.

Expected a bigger boost from Gears 3. Will be fully vanished next week.

What did you expect exactly?



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Dang awesome HW boost and nice Gears 3 numbers. I was one of those who contributed to the boost ;) But I didn't get the Gears 3 console though :(



Wow, crazy numbers for PedoBears of War 3, beating 1 and 2 combined and giving XB360 almost an 80% boost!

XB360 should also win its first WW week after a long time.

The rest is really unimpressive if compared, though DS has a nice small HW boost and DS, PSP and 3DS all have a good SW boost.

 

Edit:

PS Kinect keeps on dropping, even in America and even in a week when XB360 had a huge boost.

Awesome numbers for Gears 3, however...

I hope this doesn't mean that everyone spent their money already and won't have any left to pick up Dark Souls on the 360 next week.

I swear you fuckers better buy it!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Oh my, I didn't notice that not only Wii Fit dropped, but Sports Champions beat it too!

Wow the 360 got an insane boost from the Gears console! More than I thought! Should come in second this week (3DS will still probably beat it)
