Xbox 360 hits 10m sales milestone


Xbox 360, a premier video game and entertainment system, said it has achieved a console sales milestone by selling its Xbox units to 10 million consumers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in just four years.

Reaching the landmark number has meant that Xbox 360 is the only console to achieve year-on-year growth across the region this year, said a top official.

“Xbox 360 continues to pull ahead of the competition when it comes to delivering on a complete home entertainment experience and we think that Xbox Live currently is about 12 to 18 months ahead of its main rival Playstation Network when it comes to offering service and content beyond traditional games,” said Martin Olausson, director of Digital Media Research at Strategy Analytics.

“By introducing innovative new services and content such as Natal, instant streaming of full 1080P HD video, and integrating social media features such as Twitter and Facebook, Xbox will likely attract a wider audience than its rivals and is in a great position to maximize sales in the next few years,” he noted.

2009 has been a pivotal year in Xbox’s journey from its gaming origins to now changing the way people consume and share entertainment content, interact with each other online and continue to play great games.

It’s a change that people are embracing; there are more than 20 million Xbox LIVE active members worldwide and there have been over 1 billion downloads of gaming and entertainment content, with movie downloads doubling in the last year alone.

"Customers in the UAE have been known to be early adopters of technology and Xbox 360 has been in an unique position to deliver the connected entertainment experience to the discerning consumer," said Armagan Demir, head of Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division Middle East.

"The vision for Xbox 360 and the reality for 10 million Xbox owners in EMEA is the reinventing of entertainment through, play, watch, connect and share," he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Microsoft: Xbox 360 Only YTD Grower, As Xbox Live Hits 2 Million Simultaneous


As October 2009's NPD U.S. charts debut, Microsoft claims "the only console showing year-to-date [hardware] growth" in the Xbox 360, up 7%, and 2 million simultaneous Xbox Live users after Modern Warfare 2's debut.

The company's official statement, released just before NPD's debut, noted that Xbox 360 featured with a total of six titles – including two exclusives, Forza Motorsport 3 and Halo 3: ODST from Microsoft Game Studios – in the console top 10 list this October.

According to Microsoft, the other Xbox 360 titles in the top 10 console games were NBA 2K10 and Borderlands from Take-Two, as well as FIFA Soccer 10 and Brutal Legend from Electronic Arts. (Brutal Legend is listed outside the NPD software Top 10, which also includes a Nintendo DS game.)

Microsoft also noted that "third-party titles continue to find success with Xbox 360, generating more sales than any other system, topping $151 million in October."

It added: "We expect this sales trajectory to continue – just two days ago, Activision launched Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the most anticipated game of the year. Shortly after the launch, Xbox Live reached a new record of more than two million people on the service at the same time.

Overall, U.S. console sales of 250,000 units in October contributed to a 7 percent rise in year-over-year sales for the first ten months of 2009. Xbox 360 "remains the only console showing year-to-date growth", Microsoft notes, and consumers spent $289 million on Xbox 360 hardware, software and accessories in October, "more than any other platform."

In a separate announcement released alongside NPD, Microsoft also revealed that Xbox 360 reached 10 million units sold in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), an important milestone.

Sa inget annat heller, siffrorna står där. Det beror såklart helt på 99 dollars kampanjen som är i USA. Oavsett var den lyfter så är det WW som gäller. Att 360 aldrig säljer bra i Japan känns inte så värt att ta upp längre.

Men oavsett vad lär man kanske ta veckan efter då MW2 också kom ut då.

- More than 5.2 million multiplayer hours were logged playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day alone.
- More than 2.2 million unique gamers played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in one day on November 10th. A new one-day record for Xbox LIVE.

Call of Duty series tops 55 million sales

The Call Of Duty franchise has surpassed 55 million unit sales since debuting in 2003, generating over $3 billion at retail.

That's according to data from the NPD Group, Chart-Track, GfK and publisher Activision's internal estimates.

The latest title in the franchise, Infinity Ward's Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, broke box office and videogame records with a worldwide estimated five-day sale through of approximately $550 million.

"Call Of Duty has become one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "If you consider the number of hours our audiences are engaged in playing Call Of Duty games, it is likely to be one of the most viewed of all entertainment experiences in modern history."

SCEA comms boss Patrick Seybold’s confirmed 440,000 US PS3 sales for the week ending November 29. Big beans.
“The 2009 holiday season got off to an amazing start for PlayStation, with all key retailers showing a significant increase for PS3, PSP and key holiday titles over Black Friday and the holiday weekend,” said the exec in an emailed statement.

“PlayStation 3 demand was at an all time high with the system selling more than 440,000 units for the week ending 11/29/09.”

Seybold went on to claim that entertainment in America this year is to be “defined” by PlayStation products.

“In today’s economy, consumers are drawn to items that offer the most value for their money, making the PS3 an ideal choice for those who want a comprehensive gaming and entertainment system all in one package,” he said.

“Combine that with exclusive holiday bundles and an extensive software line-up, one that many analysts are calling the best in the industry, with titles such as Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Uncharted 2:Among Thieves, and LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year, we have no doubt the momentum and demand will continue and consumers will prove that entertainment this holiday season is going to be defined by PlayStation.”

Galna 360-siffror på MW2, lär ju ha mycket att göra med att all marknadsföring runt det spelet gjorde att det såg exklusivt ut skulle jag tro.

Exklusiv reklam verkar fungera rätt bra, och jag förstår varför Sony/MS köper detta istället för ett helt exklusivt spel såklart. Men likväl känns det som att man missinformerar ovetande kunder om vilken konsol som spelet finns till, om deras enda informationskanal är reklam.

Syns ju i Sverige i TV-reklam där Tekken 6 bara har med Sony och NFS Shift bara Microsoft. För att ta två exempel.

Det är lite konstigt att spelen säljer typ dubbelt så bra på 360 gentemot PS3 i USA när den installerade basen bara är runt 30 % större (13 mot 10 milj ca).

3. Xbox 360 - 819,500

This month's software chart was dominated by Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which held the top two chart slots with combined Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sales of over 6 million units, not counting sales of Microsoft's Xbox 360 console bundled. It is likely that that game alone accounted for over a quarter of industry software revenue this month.

That game's stellar performance still wasn't enough to offset 2009, Frazier pointed out. "While this year's top-selling item bested last year's by 283 percent, it couldn't make up for softness elsewhere," she wrote. "The top 50 games this year sold 5 percent less units than did the top 50 last year."

The study also identified a highly influential segment of gamers or “Influence Multipliers.” These Influence Multipliers represented 21 percent of all gamers in the sample, but report an inordinate impact on the purchase decisions of their family and friends when buying video games. Influence Multipliers are veteran video game players, the most networked members of the gaming community, and their friends and family rely on their opinions when buying video games.

“Compared to all video gamers, Influence Multipliers are a hyperinfluential subset of friends who are also far more connected to other gamers,” said Dan Gallagher, senior vice president, Insight & Analytics at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide. “As a result, Influence Multipliers have an outsized network influence effect on their gaming colleagues. By targeting the media channels that Influence Multipliers rely on, marketers can optimize their marketing spending.”

Modern Warfare 2 Spiked Xbox 360 Console Sales In Japan

For a Western FPS with a subpar localization, Modern Warfare did extremely well in Japan. Compared to the rest of the Western world, it didn't.

But what about the Xbox 360? According to early sales figures, over 10,000 Xbox 360 consoles were sold the week that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched in Japan. Those who follow the weekly hardware sales will know it's been forever and a day since Microsoft has sold 10,000 consoles in one week — heck, in two weeks, even.

The boast in sales is believed to have been caused by the bundled MW2 console. Call of Duty is on a roll in Japan, outselling even Namco Bandai's Wii RPG Tales of Graces in its first week.

Since these are early sales figures, do wait for the official numbers later this week.

Så.....tar ni ert ansvar Zoiler, Morlock mfl.........

Kan tänka mig att det är så men mig lyssnar ingen på för då hade Just Cause sålt mycket bättre än det gjorde

Eller ja, ingen är väl fel att säga eftersom det var några som nappade. Men det är väl ganska självklart att "word of mouth" är en stor influens. När folk ser vad deras kompisar spelar på Live eller PSN så blir det också påverkade. Alla frågar ju hela tiden andra vad de ska köpa så jag är inte speciellt förvånad.
