Microsoft needed to release some good sounding news for their stock holders but you have to be concearned if you are MS. Black Friday your big day saw your 360 outsold but the PS3 a system in which you dominate in America. Furthermore you have a 199.99 unit and a 299.99 to compete with WII and PS3 on price and you offered 6 free games with the Arcade and came in third. I can imagine though that they did see great software numbers on BF thanks to a significantly higher user base in America.

So...are you saying sony is Network Services Division is going to post better numbers than EDD?

NPD November figures will be interesting indeed. PS3 gain in BF week could erase the deficit and put it slightly in front of 360 for the month of November.
X360 still holds more than an 8.5 million lead over the PS3 in the NA region. NA region is unlikely to be reclaimed by PS3, unless the 360 stops selling.
According to the press releases from the three companies the VGC sales estimates seem to be close.

exactly

and besides, online, accessories and software is where the real money is made, and I think MS has the edge there over PS3 in NA and I think that that's unlikly to change soon, if ever

I would like to say that cmeese47 is probably delusional based on that, but I won't because I'll probably get a warning.

what I can say though, is that MS' financial results in the whole won't be too phased about a mere 100k or so difference in the NA on BF.

300k diffence? perhaps that might be bit of a worry but not a serious one in the greater scheme of things either imho

To flog a reasonably dead horse a bit more, we don't even have any real software numbers yet for BF...afaik

 This time round it's Sony who will have no need to employ the spin doctors for the PS3, but they will need to deploy them for PSP spin, which will be hard.

and the Understatement of the Year award goes to...

Binary solo!

All right smarty pants, it will be "quite hard". How's that?

I agree with binary solo completely

Sigh, you're doing this in every thread concerning BF.

You pretty much ignore Sony's numbers, and pointing to lead and (as in other threads) to next year, next BF and so on.

 

Weren't you one of the people heckling Sony fanboys when they did the same?

M$ is going to have to do some fancy tap dancing...Sony and Nintendo have official stated their sales...creak creak creak. The fact is that M$ has no one to blame for this but themselves. Here's the thing of it...let's look at the Official bundles Sony has out...and then look at M$ lone holiday bundle..lol...are you serious? The 360 deserves to be hammered for M$ being this stupid and lazy...not to mention cheap as hell. If Marketing had any commen sense, they would have had serious bundles with these items; a 12-month XBL card with every 360, about 3 or 4 bundles with at least 2 top quality games.
