| shanbcn said: I found another article about 360 sales in Japan. http://www.gameblog.fr/news_7186_la-xbox-360-ecrase-tout-en-europe "En France, le score de la console pourrait bien atteindre le million d'unités en décembre, selon David Dufour (Directeur Marketing Xbox et Windows Games chez Microsoft France), avec une progression de 94% depuis le début de l'année, en volumes, alors que le marché des consoles progresse lui de 20%. Autres chiffres annoncés : plus de 5,3 millions de jeux ont été écoulés sur la Xbox 360, et pas moins de 2 millions d'accessoires. Enfin, 6,05 jeux par machine ont été vendus jusqu'à maintenant. Soit le meilleur ratio des consoles." So with 5,3 millions 360 SW sold and with tie ratio of 6.05 per console it means Xbox360 sales in France as of last week were 876k LTD. And they also say that it will pass 1 million in December. |
More precisely:
xbox 360: the million for the middle of december said microsoft:

Microsoft estime pouvoir dépasser d'ici mi-décembre, la barre du millions d'exemplaires vendus en trois ans.
It's already done for vgchartz since the week 48, but for gfk/microsoft, it must happen for the weeks 50/51.
What i think about that is, it 's is really possible, because, if the number is 876k at the end of the week 48, as said shanbcn (it 's for week 48, 47 or 46, possibly week 46, because they speak of this interview the 21 november in the link of shanbcn), with 40k units each week now (less if the 876 k is for the end of the week 46), the million mark can be hit at the end of the week 51 (or week 50 with 30 k units per week during weeks 47, 48, 49, 50). We will see, because microsoft or gfk, will announce this event.
The 800k mark was reach for the week 46 (interview 21 november, end of the week 47), and it's more than 800k, if we read seriously, and so maybe 876k with the maths of shanbcn).
But, sony has introduce the rebat of 50 euro at the week 48, so it's not sure that it will happen as microsoft thought the 21 november, without this rebat.
Others things, the 360 was at 750k in the middle of september, so at the end of the week 37.

It will be incredible if the 360 hit only 800 k at the end of the week 46, with 22 000 units during this week, and some weeks before (said in the interview).
In France, there is the rebat of 40 euro since the week 45, and the price drop since the week 38.
