It's not, that's a pretty crap bundle IMO

At least F3 is most likely going to break 6 million now

 

OT: I don't think the 360 will get 1st place this year unless there is a pricecut.

Only 6 million?  With a holiday bundle like that, F3 will technically sell more then GT5 then so the forums might become a little crazy.  lol 

This is true. Even though it would possibly beat GT5 because of bundles I bet there would be some pretty awesome meltdowns.

Lol, you're ignoring the fact that Sony will most likely have at least one GT5 bundle for the holidays.  Also, GT5 finally got an official pricecut so that will boost sales, as well.  Really, even with a bundle, GT5 would have to stop selling for Forza to pass it.

See what I mean everybody I just mentioned the slight possibility of F3 outselling GT5 and it's already starting

 

 

 

 

To internet is serious business people: I'm not being serious!

Why the hell are they bundling Forza 3 and not Forza 4? That's probably going to take away sales from F4.

Why the hell would they bundle a brand new game? F3 being bundled with 360's won't take away sales from F4.


Gears 3 is bundled. Uncharted 3 will be as well. Not to mention FFXIII-2, Skyward Sword, Xillia etc. Most bundled games are bundled at the start of their lifetimes.



I demand to see that skyward sword bundle now!

After a bit of searching, apparently there isn't one. I must have been getting confused with the special edition controller bundle.

I could have sworn there was a console bundle. My mistake.

so because you think xbox is going to win you make a thread about it' with the title it's going to win? even though it's not actual fact? *facepalmz*

I think PS3 wins this year tbh. I see MS wining 2012 probably a hefty price drop to 199

I don't have any raw figures to back me up and I could just be talking out of my ass. With that said, I've seen it time and again where it's been stated that sales for Oct, Nov, and Dec are equal to or greater than the sales for the other nine months combined. Microsoft is shooting their gaming load in the last few months of the year (Forza, Gears--which was in September, Halo Anniversary, and a few Kinect titles). Who's to say that there won't be some price cut or a big Kinect push, too? Add to that the promise of new dashboard functionality and TV support.

It's definitely possible.

Yea, I agree with this. With Kinect and it's appeal to the casual audience, I think MS can at least tie Sony for the last 3 months of the year, and I do expect a surprise Kinect price cut + Bundle. I also wouldn't be surprised if MS made a Forza 4, Gears 3 or even Halo Reach bundle.

Even if they just bump up the hard drive in the Arcade model to 12GB, that would be like a price cut. I still use my 20GB (14 available GB) hard drive on my old SKU 360 and I don't fill it up, even with videos and DLC.

Anything is possible, but I expect PS3 to outsell 360 for October. Maybe I'm wrong and Just Dance 3 will boost 360 numbers substantially. I remember when Wii Fit came out seeing people come to stores just looking for that in particular.

but just dace is also on the playstation? plus xbox has dance central while move has everybody dance plus with the move price cut i reckon just dance 3 plus a few new casual move games and everybody dance will do great with the casuals plus the battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 holidays bundle will do great in america while the silver and white limited editions 3 will kill in europe so xbox can win but it's very unlikely, they need a pricecut

Xbox 360 will see a price drop definetley but I still think PS3 will come on top in 2011.
