June NPD: Xbox > Wii > PS3

[MA16v3]

360 topped the Wii in February this year as well.

Oh really? Then that makes it 4 times that an HD console has beat the Wii in a month.

My goodness these are dark days.

"It is clear that the sales spike for the 360 was largely temporary, as clearance items accounted for around 60 per cent of total sales," Pachter concluded, "and it is not clear that software attached heavily to these purchase."

This is the same point I was trying to make earlier, but now that Pachter's said so, it must definitely be wrong and I concede this point to CD

That's why I said "perhaps" you were right. I'm not 100% convinced, especially since its coming from pachter. I was willing to admit they could be right though.

I bet alot of sales were upgrades, but that puts alot more used Xbox units out in the wild that might get snatched up by bargain shoppers.



On Reach.

Just remember, there's always those 14, 15, 16 year old kids that maybe never had a console before because their parents didn't buy the, and they're getting jobs, and getting a little more financial freedom.


I bought a refurbed Xbox when I was 15 after I started my first job. The whole everyone would have already bought an Xbox is never true, as is it with any console, but it won't have as large of an impact as Halo 3 had.

New Slim systems only accounted for 40%, it was posted a few pages back.

so 40% isn't "alot"? 360 beat ps3 in june by almost 50%....seems like that 40% went a long way to helping beat it.

Pachter / EEDAR released the following console sales estimates for July 2010 (change year-on-year):

DS - 405,000 (-25%) / 403,000 (-25%)
Wii - 310,000 (+23%) / 274,000 (+9%)
Xbox 360 - 355,000 (+75%) / 309,000 (+52%)
PS3 - 230,000 (+89%) / 201,000 (+65%)
PSP - 85,000 (-31%) / 67,000 (-45%)
PS2 - 45,000 (-58%) / NA
Total - 1,430,000 (+6%) / 1,254,000 (-7%)

Both are predicting that 360 beats Wii again.. not sure myself..

wow, that would be great sales for xbox - especially in the summer - it seems pretty dry for PS3 releases until late sept and then November.
