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."
With the Perfect Dark reboot set to launch later this year, it's time to look back at Perfect Dark Zero, nearly 20 years later.
At the rate xbox is going you'll have another 20 years to play the original before the reboot arrives

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
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 ..
