Sony is staying strong in Europe.

360 is back on top of PS3 in North America... Price cut, slim, Uncharted 2 hype, just wasn't enough.

Expect Wii to be back on top next week...

Question is how will that affect the other two consoles...?

More importantly, a Halo FPS game and a $50 cashback only boosted 360 12k for this week.

Eek.

Funny, that has nothing to do with it. Let's forget that a Halo game just released, also lets throw out the $50 cashback (for elites) out the window, let's talk about the territory. We are talking about NA, where the 360 has DOUBLE (thats right, DOUBLE) the installed base as the PS3. Also, IDK if you live in the U.S, but basically everybody loves the 360 (from what I've seen, just because of Live) and there is a ridiculous amount of word of mouth and peer pressure (one feels they need to get a 360 just because their friends got one, and so on and so forth). The 360 has outsold the PS3 in NA for the entire lifespan of the PS3 (maybe the PS3 outsold it a couple of weeks or so, nothing major), so the 360 outselling the PS3 by so little isn't something you should be bragging about. I know you can say "but PS3 just dropped down to 300, and had a slim," well the 360 dropped to 300 around the same time as well. Oh, and I HIGHLY doubt that the PS3 is so close to the 360 because of the slim.

So people are saying that ODST did sell consoles? $60 was too much for the game alone, but now people are willing to buy a whole console for it? Make up your minds interwebz.

As for the $50 rebate, I don't think it was heavily advertised. I didn't see it anywhere other than on MS's site.

It was on T.V. plenty here in the US.

As for ODST, I believe it was also responsible for the spike in sales this week. I told people it WOULD be a system seller, just not a large one.

Maybe I don't watch enough tv, but I saw zilch about it.

 

Also, to be a stickler, it wasn't a full week of the rebate.  It started on the 22nd.

It looks like Wii is going to end up last on console ranking in September NPD...

Yeah, I think so too.  It'll be the first time losing to PS3 and the second time being outsold by 360.  We'll see though.

But then it'll be back on top in October.

Darth is turning to the lite side! GOOD, everything is going according to plan.



 

last of the pros + 50$ cashback + halo odst bounced 360 back along with arcade sales.

tbh i think 360 still has edge this fall because of arcade sku



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

The 360 is doing strong. It will do better next month.

I thought the rebate started this week, not last week, and it's to clear out inventory, imho.

I think he was joking about the guy's typo ("were" instead of "where").
