what is this halo thing on top of the charts?

I can't believe it sold that many coming out on the 25th, if it would have came out in the first of Sep it probably would have broke 5 million!

nah, its cause of the pre-orders.

 

[michaels]

Well it hasn't been out a month and has broke 5 million I believe, so I think it would.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Poor Sony -- they manage to stop PS3 sales from slumping below 100K only to have MS triple console sales to over 500K, actually beating the wii for once.

At least Sony can take comfort in being the sales leader in Italy, Spain and Scandinavia

 

[michaels]

Actually I think this is the 3rd time they topped the Wii, but that isn't anything to brag about!

FTW!

At first I was surprised by the amount the 360 sold...then I remembered that Halo 3 was released in September.

Yep, all in Japan that were interested bought one, which means in about a month and a half the used market in japan should be flush with 360's again

It's a SonyDefenseForce joke. They keep the Nintendo products separate, then combine the Sony numbers so Sony "wins" every month:
wii is for Grampa (deadpan humor alert.)

I don't know, I think most of the people who wanted it bought it right when it came out.

Edit: well, they're selling 300k a week now so you're not far off.

Is it the sequel to Saint's Row?

I still think Burning Crusade sold more games in 24 hours .

It will be interesting to see if the 360 can sustain those numbers through the holidays and what kind of jump the $400 PS3 will give Sony.

Agreed. From a business standpoint...this holiday season will be really interesting with MS sticking with their price drop and Sony dropping the $400 dollar machine. I really think Sony sales will go up big time for the holidays. MS really needs to drop the price of the upcoming "Xbox 360 Arcade" to under $250 in my opinion. Including Forza 2 and Marvel Universe should help as well.

I'm wondering if MS execs are thinking they need to drop the prices for the 360 again after the $400 PS3.

Why would they? Holiday season, Halo 3 bringing in mad console sales + software sales...I don't think MS will hit 500K+ consoles for the next 3-4 months, but it seems like a lock to do 400K+ per month the next few months through the holiday. It makes zero sense from a business perspective to fvck yourself out of $50 of revenue per console. To put it in perspective, that $50 for September's console sales = $26.4 million.

They shouldn't feel pressured to drop the price until probably next year.
