Excuse my language, but WHAT THE F**K?

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?

Look at the thread below to know how cheap it will be.  Thread tracks all the Holiday Special deals starting with 1st week of November.

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Sorry Sony fanboys.

X360
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
1,516,807

PS3
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
581,751

Next The Elder Scrolls should be exclusive on Xbox 360 or Xbox 720.

Yep just lose $34 million in revenue - from one region. Brilliant idea.

If the exclusive branding gives the game those 600,000k sales, then profits are the same, but they get extra dev funding from MS, and some complimentary advertizing.

It could happen, but I doubt it.

Console bundles: Halo:Reach + Fable 3 + other game or two with 250GB.
MW 3 launch bundle are impressive. MW 3 branded headsets.
Skyrim released in the same week of MW 3.
59% of Skyrim sales were for the X360 version.

I admit. I got a good chuckle out of this. Monstrous 360 sales this week though. Just imagine BF week.

It's funny, even though Best Buy and Future Shop bundle Uncharted 3 free with the 250GB console, it only manages 126k in sales.

I hope this game manages to break 5 million like UC2 will. Forza and UC sales warn me that games may start to sell more poorly soon, and the generation is ending.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

NA sales for XBox 360 continue to grow every year as the games library of the X360 expands. Microsoft continues to deliver to the American audience with value added bundles, stength of XBox Live and new game releases.

please ignore the fanboy. Sadly they occasionally pop up every now and then. Amazing Skyrim sales for all systems. The ps3 version will likely top 1mil first week and be one of the best selling ps3 games of the year. Its ridiculous to think its a good idea not to have a ps3 version... Anyway this growth is ridiculous by America sales have been pretty low lately compared to EMEAA. I guess people were just waiting for the deals to buy their console. I actually think its the discounted 360 bundles that had more to do with the bump then the mw3 bundle. Fable 3 is at 94k so around 84k of those holiday bundles sold. Kinects at 100k so im assuming around 80k assorted kinect bundles sold. 80k MW3 bundles and 80k standalone 4gig/250gig 360s. 


same for you.

last warning. Don't call others fanboy.

If you think this is big, wait till black friday week.
The Wal-Mart sales are pretty darn amazing.

Just hope all this growth means no 720 I'n 2012... I can't afford it lol



It's just that simple.
