Maybe Plants VS Zombies has had a bigger impact than we're giving it credit for.

Its given a bigger HW boost than Donkey Kong!

Woooo X1 gap increasing vs WiiU.

MS cmon, 360 has had the same price for 5.5 years........its successor is out. Please drop the price.

Xbox360 cost £139 5.5 year ago?

Referring to the NA price drop of August 2008 where 360 costed 199 and the higher model 299. They upped the value since and had temporary price drops but the price remained the same to this day. I can't speak for Europe.

Literally consoles have released and their successors launched in the time the 360 held this pricing. That is seriously a overlooked achievement here.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

According to BenV on this site the raise in the US is due to income tax season, plus Gamestop has a layaway program for X1 so you'll see an uptick in those sales prior to the TF bundle.

Well on Gamestop's site (where he works I believe), the Titanfall bundle is 15th and the basic XBO is 208th on the best sellers list. I'm not sure exactlly what you are saying with the second bit, but VGC counting someone putting a Titanfall bundle on layaway as a sale this week would be specious.

Didn't Nintendo get taken to court for that in the 80's?

hhhhmmm I have a feeling we'll be seeing some adjustments to this weeks numbers. That, or there were a staggeringly low number of PS4s available this week. Actually, I think both of those are true.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
