[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"][QUOTE="garland51"] Thank u was jst goin to say ;PAllthishate

lol pointing finger at others, and telling them that they are grasping at straws, when you post a score of a game that was rated under the old system as a 9.6 to try and beat the score of a game that was released 2 years later with a 9.5 score under the new rating system..

what do you think gears1 would have scored if it had been rated under the new system? who's grasping at straws now? lol

you come of a little frustrated, with that Sony is god sarcasm thing you do lol

360 sold wherry well, so good for them. But its such a close race this gen that there aren't any real losers exept for fanboys that is ;)

Horrible month all around.

[QUOTE="jimmyxboxlive"][QUOTE="ZombieKiller7"] The 360 is selling soley because of kinect. garland51

If the 360 is truly selling because of Kinect, then how come we don't see a single Kinect game in the top 10?

In no way are PS3 fanboys as bad as 360 fanboys.jimmyxboxlive

You got to be kidding me. :lol:

Please. The 360 received a lot of sales even before Kinect came around with the slim model.

[QUOTE="garland51"]

[QUOTE="jimmyxboxlive"] And that proves nothing. And i don't want to get into an argument about video game sales lol But when kinect came out that's when the 360 received a big jump in sales. Before kinect the Ps3 was consistently out selling the 360 on a month by month basis M$ mass marketed the hell out of kinect (bought out the media ect) and of course the consumer ate it up. Hook line and sinkerjimmyxboxlive

Please. The 360 received a lot of sales even before Kinect came around with the slim model.

Keep dreaming there. Games like Gears of War 3 & Forza 4 would be coming out, & I highly doubt that the 360 will sell because of Kinect. Once again, if 360 sales truly came from Kinect, then why haven't we seen a single Kinect game in the top 10? Plus Kinect have already sold about 10 million units, so I seriously doubt that more 360 sales would come from Kinect.

NA has spoken. They want Kinect. Maybe MS should focus on NA and just stop selling to the rest of the world.kuraimen

MS has always done well in NA even before Kinect came around. Again, if 360 sold because of Kinect, how come we're not seeing any Kinect games in the top 10?

Maybe people buy it to navigate the menu since all the games suck :P

It's the nature of the gimmick. That's why Nintendo sells so many Wiis but so little games.

[QUOTE="garland51"]

[QUOTE="jimmyxboxlive"] Yes, the slim model was also bosting sales, I bought one myself(its been a dust collector since then) but the ps3 was still coming out on top world wide from what I remember before the slim model and during the slim model It really wasn't until kinect What new kinect games have even come out for kinect owners to buy this month? There is no denying that the 360 has been selling because of kinect *Personally. I think that word will eventually come around that kinect is not as great as it was m$marketed to be, and eventually sales will start droppingjimmyxboxlive

Not a 360 fanboy. I'm just speaking truth. Plus in case you haven't heard, there's already a million pre-orders for Gears of War 3. What makes you sure that there won't be any more sales for that game once it comes out?

You haven't even answered the question if Kinect was selling 360's then why wasn't any Kinect games involved in the top 10 of NPD. If you think that 360 will sell because of just Kinect this holiday season, then I just got to laugh at you.

Guess that explains Move and PS3's lowly game sales

Absolutely !

Exclusives don't matter as much in the real world.Ravensmash

Let's see you say that next gen when MS only has like 3 exclusives for it's system.

You guys see a post by me stickied at the top of the board?

Btw ...sony needs a price cut...Yesterday.

Now that's what I'm talking about: lems getting whoopin happy because of sales figures and not games! :shock:

Shocking I know.:P

Look at the sales numbers of those exclusive games? Is there any intrest?

Sad reality. Isn't it?

Sony needs to cut the price of the system. To save face alone.

Yeah because being only 5 million behind a console that released a year ahead of it means Sony is in SUCH a bad place right?

Did infamous 2 even post this month in the top 20?

I'm just stating sony needs to swallow their pride and take the 100 dollar plunge to move systems/software?

By the end of the year at this RATE in sales in the US alone. That number will not be 5 million anymore?

You know how many consoles sale in the u.s. in the holidays?

If these numbers are any indication of what is to come?

price drop?

You think MS is that stupid to only have 3 exclusives for next gen or to launch their next gen console without an exclusive game?

I agree with whatever Baxhand says.

He has a sticky.

Because sales in the USA for the 360 is enough to save it from selling poor everywhere else, while Sony is just raking in the money from Japan and Europe?

In software?

That is where the money is?

Who cares about console sales. Software puts the food on the table?

360 destroys the PS3 in software sales. That's where it counts?

I have no link to that statement. What I have seen over this generation. 360 leads in that field. If I'm not mistaking?

With Xbox live gold costs. It clear to see who the REAL winner of this generation is. When it comes to MONEY/PROFITS.

For sony to even come close to microsoft this holiday season. They better cut that 299 price point.

It would boost sales and help move software. Where the true money lies?

Um, If I remember correctly Ps3 actually sold more software than 360 last year. Not sure about the numbers for this year.

And why the hell do you care about how much money the companies are making?

Money = everything.

You act as this is just about games?

This is about business. It may be about games to you?

I'm sure you know it all comes down to money/profits?

I know we are all gamers first. At those board meetings where these games that you are playing get approved. It's about money ONLY.

Money = Games for me and you. I care about the bottom line?

Edit: This is a sales thread?

I don't think free systems count as sales but of course M$ seems to have some sort of deal with NPD. They are giving the system away then they brag about the sales numbers to make it seem more popular then what it really is, shady just shady. :?-Renegade

:lol:

Brag?

How is getting 377k systems into people homes for the sale of xbox live and software bragging?

It's called winning.

Sony should take notes.

3DS sold about 90k and DS sold about 305k.

PSP sold somewhere between 60-65k.

Some other random software numbers.

Zelda OoT 3D - ~77k

God of War III - ~73k

Oh and Pokemon White > Black.

Who cares that MS is giving away Xboxes? It's a great deal for consumers and lines MS' pockets in the long run. It's a brilliant strategy.

I'm sure if Microsoft could get away with it they would give one away with a happy meal purchase. Anti-trust lawsuits would fly though.

Console sales mean little guys. It's just a way to get the true money. Software sales.

No games on the 360? Really? Go filter 360 games on gamespot. There are hundreds of games on the xbox..Close to 1000 games.

For people buying/getting the system free with a 700 dollar investment. I'm sure they will find something to play. :lol:

If you're a gamer you have to buy consoles. Some games can't be played elswhere?

I love my pc..It is 100 times more powerful than any console.

I still have to play those console games.

It's what I do. I play games.
