Even since the markdown last Friday,” says McKenzie, “we have seen significant increases in sell-through.

Numbers should be real good for the 360 in the NA.

yes like july price drop ?



Interesting, amazing shows the 360 doing better, but still doing poorly compared to the ps3 and wii(yes I know amazon isnt a good source), and gamestop.com doesnt show the 360 selling that well either..

I hadn't even realized the price cut was in effect. That's the price you pay when you already bought one, lol.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Didn't Gamestop say something like that last year after PS3s Summer price drop? And didn't it still get pwned in NPD that month?

I think I'll take the wait and see approach.

I'll be picking one up soon.

As for it driving huge sales no.




Im personally looking forward to the August NPD thread, as it could be the last time the PS3 is ahead of the 360 in that region for a while



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I don't doubt that the (latest) price cut will help increase 360 sales. Still, consider the source: GameStop is very much a retailer that caters to the core audience. Assuming that GameStop represents the whole American market is going to skew things in favor of traditional core gamers, the ones most likely to be picking up PS360 consoles.

End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)

just wait for vgchart september week 2 or 3, and about amazon ps3 still higher, remember x360 are 3 sku tracked versus 1 sku tracked, if you combine 3 sku, then xbox 360 are higher than ps3



Yes about amazon people forget to mention that in actual fact there are 4 skus in and around the top 70 3 are usually in the top 50.
