As demand for Xbox 360 console bundles increase, Microsoft Store starts to sell out online

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the Xbox 360 console is still one of the top holiday gifts for gamers. Microsoft and its Xbox 360 brand are going on their twentieth straight month as the best selling video-game console on the market. Even after being on the market for seven years, the console continues to sell out of stock over the holidays, which can cause consumer headaches as customers search for the best deal.

No price cut in over 4 years and the 360 it still selling out, very impressive.

MS likely sold well over 1m in the US alone this month.

Abash4164d ago

Considering sales are so slow this year for games and consoles, I think MS just hasnt been shipping a lot of consoles and stock is finally clearing with the holiday season.

Cueil4164d ago

most probably, but the new bundles are really good deals as well and are selling out fast.

The years when these cosoles will sell massive numbers at these prices all year long may be long behind us.

Black friday is what people look forward to all year long. I watched on the news where someone on this huge Walmart line mentions the 360 specifically when they ask what he was witing to get.

It trips me out that no one believed it will still be here after all of these years, but like I've mentioned since E3, MS set up the system to still do well 7 years later despite really tough competition from the other consoles.

It'll be interesting to see the numbers but I can't imagine them topping last years record numbers in a big way.

Xbox doesn't need a price cut as long as the price is cheaper than the ps3.

Other than that, I don't think we need nextbox next year Cuz the 360 is on a major roll and doesn't seem like the sales in America is going to stop anytime soon.

Let the current Gen just keep on rolling :)

So half the limited quality bundles on the online store sold out and half are still available. And we have no idea how many bundles were available in the first place.

"Breaking news! Undisclosed numbers of Xbox 360 bundles sold during Black Friday sale online! Half the bundles still available!"

Umm...yeah? I'm sorry, how is this news?

Edit: No seriously! Where's the news here? "360's sell during Black Friday" isn't news, it's common sense. I don't care if we're talking Wii-U bundles, PS3 bundles, 3DS bundles, Wii bundles, where the hell is the news on one online store advertising limited quantities being sold out of some or even all of those bundles? They could have offered 3 units or 3 million units. This "article" is absolutely meaningless.

@ mcstorm below. "Good to see the 360 still selling well."
Really? You got that from this article? How? Given that they revealed not a single number, how do you know they're selling well? This isn't a shot at the 360 at all, but at this poor excuse for an article. Did they sell 300 bundles online? 3000? 2 million? 3? This is meaningless. How do sites keep getting away with this crap? "Online retailer sells some 360's. We don't know how many." is not an article. Who approved this?

Well Darkride66, I guess selling out and being out of stock is a better then not selling at all and the shelves are packed with 360's regardless of the amount of units that has been sold.

EVILDEAD3604164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

The bundles get better and better every year for all of his gen's consoles. Both Sony and MS will do good numbers.

Lol @ the 360 selling consoles still eating Darkride alive.People never change.

Last year he was so mad he tried to pretend MS was lying about their numbers (on N4G and his site) before the financial report proved him wrong.

the Xbox 360 is always doing fantastic during the holiday season. It has the best holiday lineup this year, so this is totally deserved.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B7h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21837h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia6h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins7h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal6h ago

The first game was the best imo.
