Granted, the 360 is the console of choice for shooters, and no doubt Battlefield 3 helped sell some 360's, but the PS3 price cut has had almost no effect in October. Hell, the price cut couldn't even get the PS3 past the 360 at all... terrible sign.
Regardless, the PS3 has a hell of a line-up and all it can muster is ~250K; same as the Wii. Pretty sad and damn near pathetic when you think about it. I think we can officially call the U.S Microsoftland or 360land, haha. Kinect is probably helping a lot too.
Unfortunately, the PS3 is going to get absolutely destroyed this holiday by the 360... again. Especially next month. Modern Warfare 3 is going to make 360's sell gangbusters and I doubt Uncharted 3 can sell enough consoles to negate that. Would be nice too see the two consoles neck and neck in sales each month. Better for competition, better for the consumers and better for the industry.
Anyway, great numbers for the 360. Nice numbers for the 3DS. Great month for software and a good month for the industry.
Eh it is what it is. 250k isn't really that bad, of course it's not impressive by any stretch of the matter either. Exclusive software hasn't really been moving consoles for some time, and the price cut isn't large enough to actually fight consumer perception that's been set in place for 5/6 years. Basically, the 360 is the one to get. By now, most everyone's friends have one, therefore it's logical to get the system you can play with your friends. And yes, I'm sure Kinect is a helpful factor.
