Well done 360. I think that if M$ trounces Sony over the holiday season (which is looking extremely likely) then Sony last place is set in stone. I am thinking 360 may get as far as 6.8 - 7million ahead of PS3 by January.

By the way, I am just interested to know. In UK we are getting so many 360 ads at the moment. Both normal ads and a shed load of IU ads just started to. Whats the rest of Europe like with the 360 ad campaign. Every time you turn a TV on here it's 360 £129.99 shoved in your face.

 

Nothing here in Denmark. Then again maybe they have given up. PS3 is completely killing 360 here.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Great numbers. You know I lika to see the 360 and the Wii perform well.



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.

I wonder how this will all tally up at the end of the year for the battle being fought between PS3 and 360.

@ ahcheng - In a dream maybe
@ toastboy44562 - I beg to differ. Also, you're sig almost gave me a seizure. I've never seen the word 360 appear so many times in one place.

Game sales are up for the Americas now too.

Pretty pathetic debut for both Wario Land: Shake It! (20th; 26,375) and de Blob (39th; 16,238). I bought both of these on day one because it had been such a long time since any new core games came out for Wii and I wanted to show my support. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like many others did the same. Both received positive reviews and may have decent legs if they get good word of mouth too but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Wario Land: Shake It may eventually pass 1 million, if it has crazy legs. de Blob will probably cap out at around 500k if it does good.

wii outsells the HDtwins - horray! even if only by 3215 units which really makes it a tie.

360 still doing strong - horray! i expected the price-cut to be more of a temporary effect but things seem to be going well for MS so far.

Perhaps had MS had the price cut earlier in the year, this would have been true.  But they cut it during a season when people are looking to pick up Christmas gifts.
