Amazing how well the Xbox 360 is selling. I don't think any 'expert' predicted that.

Uh, it does. I mean, just because it hasn't released any major new games yet doesn't mean all the games that came out since launch have disappeared or evaporated. And if you care to look, Live Arcade and the Indie Section have an amazing selection. I recommend Bastion and From Dust. They're the latest big titles.AncientDozer

Further proves that having a ton of exclusives doesn't matter out in the real world (except for SW).

Biggest market...granted it's NOT the world (before anyone decides to remind me...) And yet the 360 supposedly has "no games!", yet consumers are preferring it over a console stacked with exclusives. Hmm, interesting :P

Hmm, interesting :PRavensmash

Could it be because...people aren't interested in Sony's exclusives & that they prefer Nintendo's & Microsoft's?

Its pretty simple if you ask me... Video game consoles do more and have become more community driven as opposed to the self experience. Microsoft revolutionized console online gaming and are the preferred choice of gamers on that front. Exclusives mean a lot but stop kidding yourself, they dont mean as much as they used to and these monthly sales consistantly coming out like this prove the point.

If we ever want these charts to look a little more interesting, Sony needs to price cut the PS3 already. It's been 2 years now and $299 isn't really doing it in America.

SO the 360 is probably close to 500k with amazon and walmart taken into account, while the Wii and PS3 remain in the toilet.

AncientDozer

Isn't the 360 slim 300?

If we presume the 250GB model is the best selling model, sure. But the 4GB 360 is fully functional, has 8 times the storage of the Wii, and is sold for $199. I'm willing to bet the average joe is picking up that one.

Sony doesn't have an entry-level model, and that's a problem. Everyone who wants to get a PS3 has to make a high initial price investment, even if it pays off down the line in value.

and yet ps3 continues to outsell 360 worldwide, by the way its easy when you have a $199 console and 40% of which are rrod re-buys.

I don't think Amazon/Walmart sell 223 K units of any console in ANY month. I am guessing the total is more around 350-400K. Still. That's a lot more than PS3/Wii. :|

Too much weird love in this thread for just a cheap piece of plastic that is selling well.
