I heard the MS was disguising 360s in PS3 boxes and that's why the got the sales. People bought it didn't know the got a 360 until they opened the box, but they couldn't return them cause the stores don't take back open products. This is Bogus!!!

I remember they were having the PS3 ahead of the 360 in the US in November... NPD comes around and that wasn't the case. But if you like to use made up numbers that is cool.

like i said, google it, ms gives out tons of 360's to charity during holidays.
i would say 200k of those 360's were not bought from regular consumers.
Are we going to attack Microsoft for giving to charity and and their sales numbers at the same time?

NPD =/= Fact , but using VG probably isnt a smart thing to do. NPD is the most accurate. Period. No ifs ands or buts.Think about what you're saying for a minute. How many 360s do you think M$ donated to charity? My guess is a couple of hundred or so. Is that such a bad thing? When did donating to charity become a bad thing? Furthermore, do you think M$ donated them so that a couple of fanboys on SW would be happy?if you google it, you will find that ms owned branches purchase massive amount of 360's during holidays and put them up for charity.

Yes I know. I'm an idiot for typing in boost ps3 sales instead of 360.
You must be mistaken. Everyone knows that the 360 is only popular because of piracy and that its only sold so many units because of RROD and people have had to buy multiple 360's. Therefore, those figures are falseOne Xbox 360 game outsold all the PS3 software.

istreakforfood
Nah. I knew what you meant and it's a solid point.
A banned user would prefer a PS3 because they're using modded consoles and don't own the games. They realize that if they buy another 360 and go online they'll have to pay for games, or get another banned console. So they keep they're bricked 360 for free SP and get a PS3 for online since it's free.
Makes sense to me that the banned users had little to no impact on sales.

Clearly I'm owned on this one. However, the spirit is still true, and my mistake may even strengthen the point if separate Cdn. figures would only serve to increase these NPD numbers. As it is highly likely that the Cdn market mirrored the US market (as it almost always does), that probably means the 360 won there, too. Which means that the #1 and (not sure about this) #5? market tipped to the 360 for November. Mind you, Canada doesn't have Black Friday (they have a Sept. Thanksgiving), so this is pure tenuous speculation.Ohh MS..you sneaky sly devilsI heard the MS was disguising 360s in PS3 boxes and that's why the got the sales.

It is meaningless and you know it. 110k is nothing, and the Wii absolutely stomped both, but you're not talking about the Wii. You're just loving rolling in the tears of deluded cows who failed to see what a 99$ 360 would mean for the PS3.

Dude it isint a huge gap. Its already been said. Only fanboys would think that like you. This whole thread was about how cows were wrong on PS3 smashing 360 in sales and thats about it. 110k is not a huge gap in the month sales.
It most definitely is when cows were certain the PS3 would destroy the 360 in sales.Wii still selling like hotcake along with little brother the DSI and whoa good sell for 360 and some of the hardcore cows got owned andare making up some lies on why 360 selling well fact is 360 is great console that has proof it's going to stay in the in game ndustry and how long is Mario Kart wii going to stay in top 10 list

I can make up numbers from the top of my head. Would that work?
360: $100 dollars cheaper, 1 million owners that got banned, thousands of purchased 360's for kids who cant afford one by companies who are close with ms, rrod owners who had to purhcae a new one.
now you would think that 360 should of sold at least 2 million units in NOV, but it didnt, it did horrible.

Not having an alternative source doesn't make the other source worthwhile. Its similar to a a huge gap between cliffs.
