Just because it's not number 1 doesn't mean it's not good. LOL

The 360 had $50 off and some extremely good bundles.  They weren't everywhere, though, I don't think, so maybe that was a factor.  I was planning to buy a 360 this year because I knew the $50 rebates would be back but then that Vita bundle and a new Kindle Paperwhite captivated me and stole all my willpower.

But I halfway think people have gotten used to seeing rebates on the 360, so it's not as immediately tempting as when they see a deal on the PS3.  Sony moves their price around a lot of less than Microsoft.  This kind of caught my eye when I was reading about current console deals on a gaming website with a picture that showed a $199 360 bundle and a $199 PS3 bundle.  The writer and people in the comments were really focused on the PS3 bundle even though they were probably equal values.  I think it was mostly a difference in perception, just because no one is used to seeing a PS3 at that price, so it really catches the eye.

maybe Im not understanding the question.  Are you talking about the entire year or just the holidays?

And no lol

Bundles have been good this year and gaming is growing over all.  Multi console owners may buy the ps3 for exclusives theyve missed.  I dont think anybody is going to have an answer for you to be honest.  Its good to see the PS3/X360 do good during the holidays but I dont think anybody can pinpoint to why they sell to just one thing.  It'll be multiple things that helps.  

On a side note what came out last year?  Im thinking Uncharted 3, Little Big Planet 2 came out early last year, Resistance 3 came out in september, and what else?  I can't remember.  Last year wasnt that great either if I can remember right but it was certainly better than this year.  It is weird to see it sell better but either way that's a good thing 

Business is business.  As long as they are profiting that is all that matters. 

With the new Sony numbers the gap for the BF week seems more like 150k than 300k.

What does this have to do with anything?

Couldn't remember if I was right on that or not.  It feels like it has been so long since I've played those games.  Yeah I'd say multiple things on this one then.  

Cut the garbage, kow. Its up YoY in its 6th Year. Its finally bringing in good profit. How isnt this a good thing? Really? Because the 360 outsold it in AMERICA?

Youve been cheerleading WP8 / Nokia doing really well over the last few Weeks, despite it getting DESTROYED by Android/iOS...

OT : Its finally hitting mass market price-points. Its had a redesign. Its got a fantastic library with free online gaming. Its got Blu-ray.

It really is a fantastic piece of hardware.

Gap this year seems to be around 150k. What was it last year?

it's gotta be the new slim effect I guess...
