where do you get 130,000 from

vgc is 400k lower.... READ THE THREAD!!

shipped its 31.4 shippped. VGC is 31.28 now.


Its shipped to end of June... 31.4m

VGC to end of June 31.0 m

so actually 300k

u know june was 3 weeks ago right? and the 360 have already sold those 300,000 right?

so they should only 128,000 in the market and that's impossible.

Face it, the X360 is not over-tracked and the gap is 8.4 million between the X360 and PS3 and is steadily increasing every week.

The X360 is having incredible momentum so that there's been shortages much like the Wii had last year. Only 300,000 X360 units are availabe in the retail channel. The reason for this demand is a big hype for Natal and excitement among gamers all over the world for upcoming multi-million AAA exclusives such as Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell Conviction, Risen and Crackdown 2.

Yesterday I was at four game and electronics stores in my city and there were no X360's to be found xcept for a couple of Elites (but one of them was already reserved), while there were huge piles of PS3's everywhere.

By end of year the gap will be over 10 million.

Two things.

Firstly, as can be evidenced by the depressing weekly figures for consoles all-round, the 360's momentum has slowed down as of late.

Secondly, the reason for the 360's current demand has nothing to do with Natal whatsoever. How many average consumers do you think tuned into E3? And then how many of those do you believe decided to buy a 360 the next day for a product that wouldn't be out until Spring 2010 at the earliest?

I think it's more overtracked based on how many 360s RROD'd and are sitting in landfills.

lol wood, I thought u were one of the smarter posters here on VGC.

Let's just say I wasn't 100% serious when I wrote that post. ^^



(yes yes, I know. Irony and humour is hard to detect in text if u don't give any good clues. But at least I gave Risen ^^)

Still 7+ million ahead of the PS3, and 20 million behind the Wii regardless.
Same situation the XBox 360 was in before: Second place and no chance of catching the Wii (same goes for the PS3).

All I care about is accuracy to, and when NPD reports they change their numbers. The site is legit.



It's just that simple.
