[Chandoo]

so much for the 2.4 million 360 units sold lol

 

[devilscallmedad]

This was the 360's best month ever in its life, sold 1.6 million worldwide but the more surprising thing is gears, selling 2 million copies just in the US in 2 months.

 

[Chandoo]

360s best month = gears of war launch date
simple.

 

[Rapchik Killer]

Yup, gears of wars = success of 360!

 

[devilscallmedad]

Gears actually launched in Nov and sold 1 million which was a bit disappointing month for 360 as it only sold 500K in US.
Wii sales are surprisngly low analysts claimed 1.5 million sold in Dec alone.

 

[Chandoo]

the same analyst's who said 360 sold 2.4 million units from november 24th to december 24th lol

 

[devilscallmedad]

I think the analyst said 2.4 million combined for Nov1-Dec30 or something, but that was one analyst i was talking about that almost all analysts ( and nintendo ) had claimed that they had won the "holidays".

 

[Chandoo]

i expect you didnt miss the 'insert company name' won the holiday news strings on kotaku lol, sony MS and nintendo each made similar statements on how they won the holidays.
