I didnt round down, so why should i round up? I said 'around'
It's common maths lessons. If your talking to the nearest thousand 4-4499 ou should round down. 4500-4999 you should round up.

Just a note:

It's not ioi's doing concerning the X360 sales. If you track hardware via Famitsu, or Media Create, both are showing strong gains on X360 sales in the past few weeks.

Since Gumdan: Operation Troy came out, sales have been above 3,500 on any given week (3 weeks via MC, 4 weeks via Famitsu/VGC).

I know I've said this 50 times but, the reasons (and there's not just one):

1) Anticipation for the exclusive Tales of Vesperia to Xbox 360
2) Announcement of Star Ocean 4 exclusive to Xbox 360
3) Infinite Undiscovery in early September. Exclusive to Xbox 360
4) The Last Remnant, Time Exclusive to Xbox 360
5) Gundam: Operation Troy (first exclusive Gundam game to the X360. Or atleast the first that wasn't ported later, ala Gundam Mousou).


Ultimately, there's some actual momentum for the X360, as there are actually GAMES COMING TO THE X360. That the Japanese gamers care about. Because of this, the atrocious sales have become slightly less atrocious.

I need to mod my sig to say that I predict that ToV will make X360 HW jump to atleast 10k for the week it debuts. At any rate, the X360 has seen sales increases, and it's an actual trend vs. a momentary bump like most other bumps it's had. Only Blue Dragon ever gave the X360 a real jump that lasted any period of time.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Lets not get carried away here. 360 sales have risen from around 2000 to around 4000. Yes its a 50% percent rise, but thats like saying if it sold 1 one week and 2 the next it would have seen a dramatic rise.

The PS3 still outsold it by what....250% this week?

thats the silliest post i ever saw.   oh... and you need to get some maths lessons - its a 100% increase for the 360 and the PS3 outsold it by 175% ish

 

 Well, i didnt stop to get my calculator out for that blatantly perfectly worked on piece of mathematics. Hence the ? at the end of the sentence. I guesstimated.

Please take the time to read a post before responding to it. Thank you



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Hmm... You shouldn't be carried away by that increase. With such low numbers, the local variations can create a huge difference for the estimation.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

First point is arguable, second point is just not true.

 I just went through the entire PS3 catalog looking for a good RPG to hold me until Tales of Vesperia, and found none. NDS has some great ones, and Wii is short of any good ones.

 

Pray explain?
