US: Xbox 360 enjoys best week of 2009

MCV Staff 1st December 2009 Business News

Not wanting to be outdone by Sony, Microsoft has claimed that Xbox 360 enjoyed its best US sales week of 2009 over Thanksgiving – though it has stopped short of giving us exact numbers.

Director of product management Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter: Great Black Friday results just in, biggest sales week of the year for Xbox 360, more than twice previous week sales.”

No numbers were given, however, meaning that we don’t know if the machine enjoyed a year-on-year increase or suffered an annual decline.

Sony has stated that the PS3 enjoyed its strongest ever Thanksgiving week whilst Nintendo had to stomach a year-on-year fall in its Wii sales.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
