So by that token Sony should have left months ago? You guys with your pre-numbers damage control. Get over it, Wii is still selling well, so there's no need to play the poor nintendo fan,its so 2005.

October, November, and December seem like better months for X360 to see the full impact of Halo 3 and the increase in marketing. I'd say it looks good for X360 to take best seller status for the rest of the year as well as see a massive increase in software sales beyond Halo 3.

Bomb ? Not comparable with an Halo3 of course, but I expect at least the same numbers of last month. So, a LTD of 500k+ is not that bad. And I think it will have legs. Anyway, yeah, it should have sold much more for its quality.
I blame the TERRIBLE NOA marketing.

That is my crudely illustrated take on it.
If theres a "reaction " then it means X360 kicked ass this month. 100k or more ahead of the Wii.
Everybody and their mother predicted the Wii would loose to the Halo behemoth last month. Just not by how much.
Theres always the posibility of a dropoff in Wii numbers. September had awfull software for the Wii.

I don't think so. Halo 3 is the fanboy's game for excellence.And it will sell overall in its first month. Yes, it will have legs, but not at all comparable with Mario Galaxy or Smash, for example. X36's games have little legs because of their large fanbase, but have great attach rate for the same motivation.
MightyHedgehog said:
It could happen. I think October will be very close, and November and December will come down to how many Wiis Nintendo can supply. Either way, it has to be put into perspective. It would be a great victory for the 360, but it will only happen because there are still not enough Wiis out there to meet demand.

Sony will be running around going "We dropped our price! We dropped out price! Please 3rd party developers ignore the fact that the 360 sold ~1 million worldwide in September."

No, it sold 276.7k last month. It was tracking under 200k the months before (170k in July for example).

Yeah, but with "great" legs, I mean a game that sell for months. GoW sold well after its first month, but the vast majority of its sales have been made at the beginning.

Just a quickie guestimate. 500K in US. I estimate Europe 1/2 of US and Canada. Then throw in a little here and a little there and you can quickly get to ~1 million.
