So, we should get an official announcement from Microsoft next NPD!

Grats. Got to say, they went all out on America and its worked better than anyone expected.

No, it's still 1.5m behind Wii in US.


Will happen by the end of December.

OT: Can't believe somebody on a sales site is moaning about someone making a thread on this ... course it doesn't fucking matter just like a lot of things sales related don't.

I'm actually beginning to think it won't happen this year. That is unless BF will be huge for it.

Yeah it could miss it, the range I have is 300k behind, 200k ahead. Alas, it will happen by E3 next year.


Black Friday has 360's and PS3's 250GB for 199 with 2 games. Xbox 360 is gonna have no troubles passing the Wii.

Wow, good job Xbox making, designed, developing, building, etc. everyone else that works on it.

I remember thinking odd and a bit ridiculous it was when Microsoft announced there were coming out with a gaming console back some 14 years ago. Like one of those ridiculous viral (but we didn't have that term yet) that people spread by FAX. Such as: "AIDS has gone airborne and the government doesn't want you to know." Or "Don't flash your headlights at a car if they are off, the Gangs are targeting those tonight." or the things "Rod Stewart" and "Richard Gear" are purported to have done.

Note: I do not think AIDS has/will go airborne, just an example of the crazy rumors of the time.

But to have their do well I think really points to their innovation. Kinect, voice, speech, movement I think all are part of the future. And gamers are mostly going to be excited about those feedback triggers.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

360 is first place in the US, so every one of the big three has had first place at some point.

They're selling new 360s for $99 BF

So yeah, it's_happening.gif



Xbox 360 in US > Xbox WW...that's a huge accomplishment...the true winner of this generation is defintley microsoft from gaining a shit load of marketshare from Nintendo and Sony this generation.

How many dozen of millions of those xvox consoles ROD'd and had to be replaced ?

With this question, I leave for a good night gentleman.



It outsells the Wii one day before Xbox One comes out. :P



nice

Congrats to the 360! I never even owned one, but I know it deserves to win the US for the 7th gen.

 

Microsoft did a FANTASTIC job on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, I think it was a fluke (but flukes (like Minecraft) can be very good!)

But Nintendo released a new console/the next gen is here, so it doesn't matter. That is what was said when PS3 overtook 360, right?

Didn't recent MS and Sony numbers reveal that PS3 never actually overtook it? Not that it won't happen eventually anyway.

Sour grapes.
