Microsoft announced Thursday that that Xbox 360 sold 310,000 units for the week of November 18 in the US. This compares favorably to the year-younger Nintendo Wii, which sold 350,000 units during the same time frame.

"We turned around and replenished those units," the Xbox 360 product manager said in a phone interview. "We're seeing thousands and thousands of top big box retail stores reporting outages depending on SKUs, and some reporting outages of the whole Xbox 360 line."
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
what ever
Sony released a percentage with a high figure, although the smart ones knew what percentage really translated to in terms of figures. Microsoft PHONE the media and announce numbers sold. To sell Sony 2:1, when the price difference is close to nothing, is a smack in the faces of the ones in the suits in Japan.
Luckily the holiday season has just begun and we'll be monitoring the figures till past Christmas, but Sony need to desperately become on par in sales figures this holiday with Microsoft if they have the intention of over leaping the X360 userbase this time next year.
They have a lead in Europe but its not of a ratio of 2:1 although it will most likely reach that in 2008 with the games that Sony has on the racks for release by then. Will this generation be exclusively dependant on territories? Damn. Microsoft has North America wrapped around their little finger it seems. Japan is Sony's love-child.
All eyes on Europe.
Software sales continue to outpace those of Wii and PS3, with Xbox 360 capturing 54 percent of total software sales at $162 million during October, according to NPD. Wii and PS3 captured 30 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
LMAO. That is insane. But unsurprising I suppose with the large user base. Alright, seriously, who didn't buy Uncharted? Own up. Admit your shame and go buy the game NOW. Come back and show Daddy Meus a picture of the receipt
LOL, ROFL, LMAO
Sony is the only company that publish sh!tty percentages, instead of REAL numbers like Nintendo and Microsoft does.
Poor PS3, is doomed.
From all I know, Nintendo said they sold 350 000 in one day (BF),not in whole week ..
