Forums - Sales Discussion - Biggest 360 Week Ever? Tales from Black Friday

I think Microsoft is doing a successful job of changing the public's perception of what the 360 is. For all the "they're just copying the Wii" statements, I think everyone understands why now. It's a slow transition, since the 360 was solidified as to what it was. This time next year, I expect it will have made the complete jump to huge mass appeal.

There will be large 360 sales, but they still won't beat Nintendo.

 

I think everyone has got that now..... please move on.... we are talking about the 360 here

 

on topic, yea it could move 750,000 world wide.... simply amazing for a console that has so many sales issues this spring

Wow, touchy, touchy.  I can't help it that your console of choice is get its a$$ handed to it by a "weaker" and more expensive console.

 



Man thats crazy no doubt.

@ whatever the $89.99 was for a rock band bundle it seems

These aren't hardcore buyers. It could simply be they see the 360, thinking of it as an expensive machine and here it is $199.

"What! That's a great deal, aren't those things like $300-$400. I'm grabbing one!"

I agree it's going to have a great run this holiday. There are tons good 360 deals out there right now.



Black Friday is U.S. only..

if the 360 has another solid week in "Others" then yah, if could be the 360's biggest week!

$89 is for something else the 360 was $199 for the Arcade bundled with Guitar Hero 3 and the wireless guitar.

 



I think it will be the biggest week ever.
My friend got his 360 today.
