  • I'm glad I didn't choose to wait for this.

    • No, you should have waited for the falcon roll out which is beginnning soon.

      • That is slightly annoying but you can wait forever if you think too hard about buying stuff.

        • well, hopefully when your system craps out on you, MS will send you a 65nm machine and not a refurbed 90.

          • Hopefully.

            • I'm hoping that the new model, with HDMI and 65nm, will come out in the UK with a reduced price. £200 for the Premium would be great - and if the fan noise is quieter, that'd be perfect. I really need to buy a new console for when Rock Band comes out...

              • PS3 passes 360 sale in Canada

                http://www.gamespot.com/news/6177076...tag=latestnews;title;0


                Attributed to PS3 price cut.


                Wii still outsells both combined.

                Software sales still dominated by last gen. Of current gen, Wii Play and Wii - Mario 8 lead 360 GH.

                  • The fact that more and more people know that the 360 is POS does not help either. Microsoft really needs to fix the reliability issues. Lets hope the 65nm Xbox 360 will solve this once and for all.

                      ditto for Germany, apparently

                      • Not the US though

                        The new NPD numbers

                        Wii 425 k
                        Nintendo DS 405 k
                        PlayStation 2 222k
                        PlayStation Portable 214k
                        Xbox 360 170k
                        PlayStation 3 159k
                        Game Boy Advance 87k


                        Very bad news for Sony, since this is the month of the bad news on 360 reliability, and the PS3 price cut.

                        Continues to look good for Nintendo.

                            And I don't understand why. There are no games.

                              (caveat - Ive never owned a console, and dont know what the hell im talking about)

                              How many games does the average owner of any other console buy in the first year of ownership? Compare that the the number of games available for the Wii.

                                what few games it has are more desirable to the general population than the other systems?
