Wonder if 360 will fall below 100k again this year in Americas ...


why is wii up 7%?  thats a question I have?  are we into seasonal rises now?

Just Dance 3?

Also, they didnt released Just Dance 3 in PS3 on americas?

No the PS3 version is released either in Nov or Dec, there's still no solid release date for the Move version yet.



So is this the seasonal rise for 360 kicking in? or is still due to Gears bundle and new software releasing?



What is keeping the 360 above 100k, I wonder. Is it still the GoW3 effect?
3DS holding well but PS3 took a nose dive.
Also, did Just dance 3 flopped? doesn't look like it racked up a lot of sales

I'm surprised the 360 is still over 100k for the third week in a row now. Maybe MS doesn't need a price drop after all.

In US the 360 just needs games like Gears really, and seasonal uplift.  It's the main HD choice now.  The challenge for MS is that it could do with a drop in EMEAA though (I'm leaving Japan aside as I think price is nothing do to with it there) but I think they want to remain relatively consistent globally so they're having to rely on US (and say UK) for most of their boosts.

 

Some interesting game ratios between the two HD platforms there - Dark Souls showing how franchise association always helps, fairly even NBA sales (in fact by ration to install base probably stronger on PS3) and Rage showing the normal FPS / Shooter bias to 360 in the region.  FIFA very close too.

Sharper drop for Gears this week, after the huge start it'll be interesting to see where it settles for legs.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

The Long Live Play campaign didn't do much it seems even though the video has 8 million views on youtube (in 5 days).



i'm looking for PS3 to do 180K or come close and 360 to do over 170k WW. Rage PS360 did well its launch wk 400k. NBA2k doing slightly better with over 500k. Dark Souls doing a modest 166,526 on PS3, and where is 360 Dark Souls?

OP can you post 360 Dark Souls numbers?
GEARS3 will do 3m in the U.S. before 2012 is over. FIFA over 90k. ICO/SoTc adding 35k to already great sells. and R3 holding on to some kind of thin thread. hopefully the Nov-Dec period can help boost sells before the yr is out.
