It is not only Jan X360 that is overpriced. Feb X360 is also overpriced. You need to be carefull when shorting futures. If most people don't agree with you, you might suffer short term loss. Better concentrate on the January one instead of the February, since it will be resolved faster. I am also shorting X360 Jan, but not in a big way, since my short limit was over right now.
How on earth people expect 360 to sell more than 360k in Jan. NPD? This is an average of more than 90k weekly which is way too high. Notice that last year it only sold 294k even though that month was a 5 week month (59k weekly average.) It would be lucky to sell as much as last year (~290k) during a 4 week month which is also traditionaly one of the slowest months of the year. I'm shorting the hell out of it.
1.38 is a little bit low, no ? Only 20% increase vs last year's figure ?
Especially with the # of AAA title on X360 (including Halo 3), Falcon, arcade SKU, which should help increase X360 # significantly (read : more than 20%) from previous year's 1.13 Million.
Last VGC data for december data is online? where do they have the 360 *searching* 1.3 Million. Seems a little low, but well, I don't bet that it sold more.
Just someting people would like to know that XBOX 360 holds a record-high software attach rate of 6.9, according to November NPD data.I got this from thebitbag
Best-selling Xbox Live Arcade Titles, 2007 1. TMNT 1989 Arcade 2. Worms 3. Castlevania: SOTN 4. UNO 5. Bomberman Live 6. 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures 7. Sonic The Hedgehog 8. Pinball FX 9. Geometry Wars Evolved 10. Texas Hold 'em
I'm guessing today's big jump in X360 December price was following the recent Microsoft sales announcements? But a decent worldwide shipment number doesn't lead to them having sold several hundred thousand more in one month in one territory than previously thought.
