I'm not sure what to even say about how ridiculous the 360 is selling, it far exceeded my expectations.

How does MS do it without even having a price cut? Does advertising really work that well?

Also it's really nice to see Halo Reach be over 100k this week, should be around 10-11 million by years end.

I wonder how MW3 legs will be, there is no reason for them to be worse then Black Ops, that means 2+ million next week and 1.5 million next week and 1+ million for the next few weeks.

PS3 looks spot on to me, it looks like it's trending to beat last Nov's 530k NPD, despite being flat/down YOY Oct NPD this month.

Looking at my local Best Buy ad, I can see why 360 sales have jumped. They are selling 250GB 360 consoles with Halo and Fable for $230 instead of $300. Kinect is also only $100, and XBLG subscriptions are $40 a year.

If 360 is this cheap now, how cheap will it be Black Friday?

360 #1 WW!

Btw, weird numers for PS3 since last week, when PS3 got a bundle with Uncharted 3, but still got a very small bump in HW. No bundle for the new releases this week, but that is still weird, cuz MW3 and Skyrim is big on PS3 too(not much as on 360).

Waiting for EMEAA, the diference betwen the 360 and the PS3 will be like 100k i think.

WoW:

X360 +91%
DS + 24%
3DS +23%
PSP +22%
Wii +22%
PS3 +18%

Amazing HW boost for 360 and just bad for PS3 considering the massive games that have been released for it. Others with similar seasonal boosts.

YoY:

3DS+DS +10%
X360 +4%
PS3 +2%

PSP –30%
Wii –39%
DS –65%

Both HD consoles very slightly up and all other consoles massively down YoY. PS3 not doing too good considering it just had a price cut though...

I'm generally disappointed with PS3. X360 doing great but it may go back to being down YoY soon.

No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
