Really o.O No, I am just glad the 360 and PS3 sell more consoles than the Wii U. My prefrence dude.

your preference is fine, but the way it came out. Its like "REALLY"? lol

JWeinCom said: Bail said: I don't understand how X360 is getting a bigger hardware boost (in relative and absolute numbers) than PS3 which had an exclusive GTA5 bundle. Anyone ? It's not that hard to explain... In the US, the XBox 360 has pretty much always sold better.  The XBox 360 is a more attractive prospect to US consumers for various reasons.  These reasons aren't all eliminated by the presence of a GTA bundle.

I was talking about WW numbers, not only US, even if I'm ok with your explanations.

I think that going from 74k to 300k  without bundles is more curious than going from 116k to 336k with bundles (and those did great if we refer to UK chartz).
But that's just my opinion.

Also WiiU had a much bigger impact than it even though its nothing to get excited about. i was hoping 30k but lets be real, all eyes are on GTA5 and look at that hardware boost 0.o! And 2 days of price cut sales, Lets wait intill next week sales to judge. Then i'll post how is wiiu doing.

im talking about the poll in your thread i believe. More people thought wii u would sell above 60k In US this week than any other option.

Yes mega hyped game and proven system seller vs niche game and new IP, also a niche game...it might take me a while to work this one out.

Which will likely be the case, given how the past few NPD's have gone :P

i voted 30k!!! I cant believe most people put over 60k!!! I'll do another thread on predictions for wiiu full week price cut, hopefully we wont see crazy numbers. If by then WiiU has under 20k then.... I dont even want to say! Non the less i'll do how its doing thread after next week update, like i did the vita. Damn its sad though, I haven't seen sony+nintendo advertise their console/handheld since price cut! Like WTF?

ps3-sales! said: -Good legs for Last of Us -Wonderful Flop 101 -GTA 5 stronger opening on 360 expected, but still good ratio considering 2:1 hardware in the US favoring 360 over Ps3. I expect Ps3 version to outsell 360 version worldwide when all said and done.

It has had good legs but the big UK boost is due to this bundle (not sure if it's available anywhere else):

I'm amazed by how popular GTA V is, we all knew it was going to be huge but damn. And I'd be suprised if it really did give the 360 a much bigger boost than ps3 since the PS3 had an offical bundle wheras the 360 did not.

It's possible, which is why I mentioned it. 3DS numbers seem a bit on the low side for September, but I don't think it's significantly undertracked compared to last month and considering the lack of major releases this month (in the US). As noted by many others in this thread, 360 numbers in particular seem a bit high, but GTAV is a proven monster, and who knows just how big an effect it could have had on hardware sales? NPD for this month will be very interesting. Personally, I don't think the 3DS will be on top for September.

I can doubt xbox 360 numbers in USA, but they can be real, but i absolute refuse to believe xbox 360 numbers in Europe. 122k in Europe???, really?????, just 56k less than ps3 version????, and 30k more than what ps3 sold in USA???

COME ON
