Forums - Sales - Can Xbox 360 OUTSELL Ps3 this Week?!!

djevolve420 on 12 November 2009

360 will win sales this week , amazon will post more sales onto the ww sales.

pay 200 for a xbox 360 and get a 100 dollar gift card deal was only good from 8am-1 pm sat morning and most wal mart stores only got so many units. My sister works at wal mart.

if it was a unlimited supply all week then yes we would see 600,000 units sold in NA. So if it doesn't outsell ps3, it is only because the amount of units wal mart did have.

well with that 99 dollar deal i would hope it would. i mean seriously, microsoft is beginning to look a little needy. lol


it was only a 5 hr sale. So don't get to excited. most stores only had 10-15 units, when out that was it. I went to the sale and got this laptop I'm on right now.

plus my buddy got a xbox 360.

Maybe. I 'd really love to know who's funding that Wal*Mart deal. I reckon it has to be MS, why would Wal*Mart want to burn $100 of their money per console. I can only assume MS, seeing recent Slim sales, decided they're rather spend a fair amount of money to give themselves a decent change to stay ahead of PS3 in US.

Does PS3 have any comparable deals, or is Sony just banking on current price, etc?

Wal-Mart had an identical promotion for the PS3 earlier this year.  Just like sony used the PS3 as a loss leader to make money back on SW, Wal-Mart is hoping to use the gift cards to get people shoppipng more at their store, and make more money back in the long run.

Thanks.  For some reason only the 360 promotion seemed to register with a lot of coverage, unless I missed the PS3 coverage but I'm sure I'd have seen something.  That makes sense then, that they would switch back and forth, although the timing for MS so close to MW2 was very nice I reckon.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Basic math skills go in the favor of the Ps3... that is unless ioi was off on his estimates.

lol in the uk both version should sell pretty even simply because everywhere you go both versions are sold out! so both ps3 and 360 owners love this game! obviously in america ps3 has no chance with a 6 million disadvantage and an exclusive bundle to go with it. on the hardware side i think the ps3 should see a bigger boost simply because there is more demand for the console. also 360's boost could be halted because of the walmart deal

LOL, only on the internet is selling lots of consoles on a sale a bad thing.

 

Kind of like lots of people tried to portray the Xbox 360's price drop in 2008 as a bad thing too back at the time.

according to ioi, who said 170,000 sold in the americas, it will not outsell ps3 this week after you add the europe and japan numbers.

i think that sales figures was only for a day. that promotion lasts until 15 nov, i think.

360 might win this week. 

 

$99 arcade + the recent banwave + MW2 bundle = 360 win

if modern warfare 2 gets into the equation then so does the ps3 cause its multiplat. doesnt matter how it was advertised or bundled. GTAIV was the same and sold more ps3's. hell ps3 even has an advantage now cause of its new price. anyway so many people saying different things, is it until november 15th or just 1 day like it was originally said to have been! does anyone even really know?
