Thats no big suprise, nor is it that big of a deal. Of course sales are going to rise shortly before the biggest game in the console's history will give it a push. This is the game most owners of the X-Box who had yet to buy a 360 have been waiting for. I expect another 100 thousand for the week Halo launches and thats about it. Most people who want Halo, have a 360 already, I think. It hardly changes the fact that for the past 9 months, Nintendo has been consistently handing Microsoft their ass each month.

Now the number of units Halo sells...oh boy, thats going to be a whole different story. Bill Gates better build a swimming pool so he can dive into all that money, Scrooge McDuck style

Also, I don't get why people take so much pride in the fact that X-Box 360 sold some more units than usual. You'd think you guys are going to see profit off of it or something. That is why this video game, system fanboy mentality is so stupid.

All that being said...

Spoiler

How long do you think until GBC is selling more units than PS3?

 

[BatMatt]

PS3 sales reflect the lack of 60 GB models around and the bundle isn't selling too well so hopefully that just becomes a $499 80GB model without a game and the new 40GB is introduced

Eventually Sony will get a system people want to buy...........eventually
Maybe they could introduce a 200 gb model or a cheap 3 gb one, ooooooooooo how bout a 300 gb model. That'll get people to the stores

ouch. I need to lie down now

forget it.

 

[terry78]

Now when Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. comes out, we'll see the same surge.

 

[hippy fascist]

no, by that time people will have gotten bored of the novelty

 

[terry78]

We shall see.

 

[hippy fascist]

care to make a bet?

loser has to post a picture of their penis in community

[terry78]

No, I won't be doing that.

I think youre right, maybe not in the same way as the Halo 3 surge tho.

[hippy fascist]

will the NPD graph in the post above do...?

 

[Matt]

This is ridiculous. This is like saying Lionsgate is suddenly a bigger, more powerful studio than Warners because Saw IV makes a lot of money. The surge is to be expected for a big game. I hardly see what it proves or the point of this thread

 

[hippy fascist]

the ps3 has NEVER outsold the 360 in north america so your anology doesn't really hold up
