So long as the current sales data is accurate, one can safely say that only one non holiday week last year is higher than the current Xbox 360 sales.

I say disrespect! You better listen good...

There are several important concepts people must learn. Never shake a baby, do unto others as you would have others do unto you, and only leading consoles are allowed to peak beyond their third year. If you hold these concepts close to your heart you will do well in life and video games.

Microsoft doesn't respect the current ways of the land with video games, they disregard the traditional beliefs held dear to many gamers and they seek to impose their own way of doing things.

I have to write this in bold: Microsoft is threatening the very concept that one can take past precedent like from the NES generation over 20 years ago and apply it to the current generation. It felt safe, knowing that one could predict the future by simply expecting the past to repeat itself over and over and over...

Unprecedented times call for an unprecedented response. the traditons of the console market must be upheld, so I implore Microsoft to take action to keep the balance in check. They must reverse the recent pricecuts to restore balance to the console market or all could be lost!!! A console down over its third year and a console up over its fourth year! This situation could lead to a cessation of gaming as we all know it!

Alas, what heartless corporation would listen to me? How can I make them understand the peril they bring upon us all? I have done my best to rearrange shop shelves to better promote the other consoles, but what part are you playing to prevent this catastrophic threat to gaming from gaining traction?

History repeats itself because we do not learn from it.

And I hope you are right about what you said.

It's because of the Wii. It creates two battles: the console war and the HD console war. Microsoft is losing the console war but winning the HD console war. It's a fools victory though, the HD console war is only a skirmish, the resources gained in it's victory are not enough to win the real console war, but perhaps help it peak later.

I see a rather large GTAIV bump there!

lol Great Read Squilliam.

Nice rhetoric, but the 360 is coming off the back of a price cut surge, so naturally its up on the previous year, when the PS3 was coming off the back of a price cut surge...
