I am not saying they are wrong just that it is suprising that this sort of news has not been widely reported either by Microsoft or other agencies. This is the only thing that worries me.

That said the UK market is 360 centric without a doubt and the current pricing of a 360 console must seem very attractive when even the Wii is more expensive. I also think grey imports have a lot to do with it but even that does not compute on every level because surely the PS3 would benefit most because of the higher asking price.

Didn't the Wii receive a price hike in the UK? Also the DSi is 150 pounds, which is 50 pounds more than the DSlite.

Are you saying they are wrong???

I could see 360 selling on par or even a bot more than Wii but double the Wii, it just seems too big a turnaround in too little time. But what do I know?

360 outsells Wii 2:1?

No chance. I'll eat my hat if these numbers are true.

Somebody screwed up because Game definately reported this and quoted Gfk as the source.

Can you elaborate? On what basis do you believe they are incorrect?



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

On a simple basis that any baboon knows the x360 can't outsell the DS and DSI combined, with over 200k difference.

Neither are this site's numbers. Nobody's numbers can be exactly right.
