Microsoft PR

A) Kinect momentum continues with a growing portfolio of more than 75 Kinect for Xbox 360 titles in the market by holiday – four times larger than last holiday. A robust Kinect portfolio, blockbuster game releases, major entertainment partnerships and new hardware offerings prime Xbox 360 for a record holiday sales season.


B) During the month of September, Xbox 360 held six of the top ten console game titles including: “Gears of War 3,” “Madden NFL 12,” “Dead Island,” “FIFA Soccer 12,” “NHL 12” and “Deus EX: Human Revolution.” (Source: NPD Group, September 2011)

A) What does "We have more Kinect dancing games this XMas than last XMas" have to do with NPD results?

B) Exactly the same as PS3 titles. Nothing earthshaking to brag about, considering almost everything is multiplat nowadays.

Seems to me this guy was caught off-guard by something he didn't expect..

shows that i was right with greenberg and that he "forgot" to post the share because he was shocked about ps3 sales haha

The % thing is usually in the press release, same as last month AFAIK. If it's remained the same and 360 was #1 I doubt much he cares ...

no he always post it on twitter like i said only this time he didn't. i don't think that he doesn't care about ps3 sales.

You're lying, most months it's from the press statement, some months we don't even get the numbers announce by Major Nelson.

He's just a spokesperson for MS

sony "increasing brand awareness"

huh?

who doesnt know playstation?

Babies, duh. 

@ OP

Looks like VGC got 360 pretty close (definitely within tolerence), while Pachter was ~70K off.  May have to wait for Sony to clarify before we know how accurate VGC was.  Aren't companies supposed to be barred from releasing exact numbers?  I guess Sony is the only one playing by the rules, lol.

You ask a question then just assume the answer, no it isn't against the 'rules'

It was rhetorical question.  I already know that NPD stopped releasing numbers, as well as asking game companies not to release them.  So yea, those are the rules.  But, in the end, there isn't really anything they could/would do to stop them.

Er no, that was all speculation on if they could release their numbers or not.

Right, but the market share % hasn't changed much at all. It's still in the 40s, so your explanation doesn't really cut it.

it does because then they can't talk about their big gears of war system seller like they do. now with the other numbers it only seems like a decent increase which the other consoles got as well.

i bet he thought xbox will have a bigger share than last month like we all thought after seeing the xbox numbers and the ps3 predictions but now we know they lost share. sure only 1% but they lost share in the month releasing one of the biggest exclusives they ever had.

if they would have had 49% share it's 100% sure for me he would have posted it.

Last month 360 had 43% of the marketshare and Ps3 sold 218k.

Someone care to explain how Microsoft saying "This marks the seventh consecutive month Xbox 360 has had more than 40 percent of the current-generation console market share. (Source: NPD Group, September 2011)"

= PS3 at 374k?

Surely if the marketshare is the same then it is still around the 200k mark?

Well the 360 did 438k this month and 308k last month. So that's a 130k rise.

It's just that all hardwares went up.


Indeed but last month 360 308k and had 43% of the marketshare. Meaning in total 660k for the month. Leaving 352k between Wii and PS3.

If we assume that the marketshare is again 43% then 438k would mean a total of 994k. If 360 has 438k then that leaves 556k. If Nintendo just said it sold 240k wiis then that leaves 316k for PS3 not 374k.

My maths could be off and that is based on assuming it is 43% share again.
