It almost does seem that way. Maybe Peter Moore has already written out the press release where the 360 drops its price after the PS3, and brags about being on the market for 20 plus month without a drop, and he just does not want to rewrite. That lazy drunk bastard.

I have Wii at:
JP - 2.60m
NA - 3.06m
PAL - 2.04m
WW - 7.7m
and X360 at:
JP - 0.37m
NA - 5.97m
PAL - 3.35m
WW - 9.7m
Getting closer...
Well, MS will probably drop the price near the release of Halo, so hopefully then the 360 can pick up some momentum.
Oh, and Sony is ****in' screwed. No way can they change things around. Although, the PSP is still doing quite well.
And needless to say, the Wii is a muther****ing beast. Holy shit.
Mario Party 8 in 2nd place? WTF.

The PSP outsold everything that's not new-gen Nintendo.
soundwave05 said:
This isn't a novel insight, but the only software that will move the 360 is Halo (a lot) and, to a lesser extent, GTA. All this great software (Forza, etc.) is largely unknown to the masses and (another novel insight) the price is still too high.

What? So the X360 is doing just fine then with another sub-200k month? Maybe excuse was the bad word to use, but that doesn't change the fact that both Sony and Microsoft need to get their shit together and start actually, you know, competing?

PS3 sales are going to turn around any day now, right?

So, the figures for the past few months look something like:
Wii
March -- 259k
April -- 360k
May -- 338k
Xbox 360
March -- 199k
April -- 174k
May -- 155k
PS3
March -- 130k
April -- 82k
May -- 81k
PS2
March -- 280k
April -- 194k
May -- ??
DS
March -- 508k
April -- 471k
May -- 423k
PSP
March -- 180k
April -- 183k
May -- ??
I'm going to guess that the final figures will show a further slump in PS2 sales with the PSP maintaining 180-190 and only squeaking past.

360 is stuck in a rut, the people who have bought it are the more "serious" side of the gamer market, they buy the console early, and pick up many, many titles, great for software sales/ tie ratios, but it severely limits the hardware sales as it also means that 360 is only appealing to a distinct sub-set of the market, and they mostly have the 360 by now.
If Microsoft want to shift more units, they need to break the perception that the 360 isn't a casual friendly system, until they do that, they are destined to sell 30-40M worldwide LTD come 2011 and only be a modest success.

Mrbob said:Well the answer is pretty obvious, but I don't know if anyone will say it. So I will.
Xbox 360 has the software, but its brand just can't penetrate mainstream appeal. At least not yet.
I think it's the price that can't penetrate. I think they're done a pretty good job getting the brand out there. The big Madden billboard in Times Square is of a 360 box. That kind of stuff, and the Burger King shit, and all that, puts the brand in a decent position. It's just too ****ing expensive.
Nothing too surprising except for the 360- that's effing horrible for a system with that kind of lineup.
Horrid
One other thought- unless Europe is getting 400K a month, then Nintendo isn't shipping a million Wii's a month.

155K for the 360 is just horrible, cast iron proof that both the Elite was a retarded move and that a price drop was needed yesterday.
I thought Wii would be a little higher but they're still phenomenal sales when compared to the competition, PS3 is awful as usual but it could have been a whole lot worse.

Wii to 10M first, believe
BenjaminBirdie said:
Yup. I don't even think the hardware failures are much of an impediment either (i.e., very few people outside of message boards know about them). I also don't get all the "OMG ELITE WAS A BAD IDEA!!"-talk. It's got very little to do with the sales; it certainly hasn't helped them but the simple fact is that the entry point for a 360 is still too high.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Someone in editorial, please ask why they aren't dropping the price? They are getting their teeth kicked in by the Wii. Ask them to stop smoking the crack while they are on it.

Obviouslly, but the wording you used didn't sound like the wording you are using now. The price is too ****ing high for both, man the 360 already sucked dry the 400$ price, it's time to lower the damn thing. And Ps3, dude, below 100k with N.A + JPN? Drop the damn price.
MS is the really weird one, because...it's 1,5 year into the console lifespan, it's time to drop the price.

Just more proof people can't deal witht he reality that Nintendo is outputting games more people want to play, so they just put the entirety of the onus on the price, instead of attributing some of the poor sales to Sony's and Microsoft's unimaginative, primitive notions about what games are and what they should become.

Just out of morbid curiousity, anyone got average weekly sales for 2007?

I have a feeling that Microsoft won't drop the price this year but simply just release some sort of limited edition Halo 3 bundled SKU around November and then drop the price early next year. Halo 3 will carry the 360 through the holiday and a price drop early next year will help keep momentum.
