Well you are free to check places like Kotaku, but they have pretty much the same info as i posted.

The Gaf posts are generally very reliable.

Wait didn't Pachter predict 360 to outsell PS3 by 50k or something ? Damn it Pachter I trusted you :cry:

ogvampire

Through time, he has predicted a lot of things and he has successfully been wrong a lot of times.

actually, out of all the videogame analysts, he is right more often than any of the others

there was an article on Joystiq about this...

Being less wrong than others hardly justifies him often being wrong, or does it? :P

in the deadly game of videogame analyzation, being less wrong is the difference between 'Pwnage' and getting 'Pwned' :P

lol! Nice :)

yea by people who already have the systyem. that game is in no way shape or form a system seller

Wow.. the PS3 has outsold the 360 again for like the 5th time this year.. :o

I'm actually surprised by this... The aftermath of MGS4 must be paying off and or the bluray factor is kicking in.. either way M$ can't be too happy about this... It's still doing nicely on the software front though... VERY surprising that a RTS game for a console made the top ten..

I would have gotten one sooner, but I don't have a job so it takes time for me to get money and I also have a hard time holding on to enough money to save. There's just something about Too Human that got me interested and made me decide to start saving.

Try by about 190k.... That's a big mistake. VGchartz - 395k NPD - 205k

He's talking about the Clearance sale for the old 20GB 360 since most people thought that would help it outsell the PS3 last month.

You mean the $50 drop? Safe to say we all knew that wasn't going to make much of a difference, get back to me with September's numbers if you want to ridicule price drop effects. (@ emperor)

Because the 360 20GB console received a price drop to $300 to make way for the 360 60GB version?

I think it's safe to say Pachter, VGChartz, and some but not all lemmings on this board thought it was going to make a huge difference. September will be fun for sure though :)

Oh okay, my doubt is retracted. :P

So even with a price drop MS couldn't beat Sony.

Sony now just have to do a better job of holding on to their exclusives.

The 360 selling days are over, maybe RROD is fixed, maybe their casual oriented E3 backfired.

Whatever the case 360 is dead last in their strongest territory. Xbox 720 2009 confirmed.

It'll probably create a bump in sales, but it's not going to be something long lasting. That's just what games do. It's quite possible that those JRPGs pull a GTAIV for the 360 in Japan.

So simply because it's an American system and nothing else, the 360 can never become more popular in Japan?

Huh. For some reason Don Mattrick at E3 saying "The Xbox 360 will sell more consoles worldwide this generation than PS3" just popped into my head. How many months has the PS3 outsold the 360 in NA, the 360's best territory, this year? Granted, I know that the 360 has it outsold by like 2:1 in NA but still.

So simply because it's an American system and nothing else, the 360 can never become more popular in Japan?

Well, traditionally, Japan always selects one console and go with it through the entire generation. 360 has already been out for almost 3 years and it's at approximtely 600k units sold. The Wii outsold the 360's lifetime to date on the first day it launched. There's just no way the 360 can become popular in Japan.

And this has nothing to do with the console being American made. The Xbox is just a bad name and MS can't market it properly. It is what it is.
