Please do not change any of the launch prices in this article, regardless of current price. The launch prices are set in history and there is no way they will ever change. .

Please do not change any of the sales numbers without citing a valid source. VGChartz.com and Nexgenwars.com are not considered valid sources. The most reliable sources are the companies' own quarterly financial statements. See WP:FN for help with creating reference tags. .

Seventh Gen. Sales

On 13 September, 2007 I placed factual evidence once more in to the console sales table please may no one edit these figures unless they may provide factual and real evidence thank you. Animal91X 16:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

• Thank-you who ever put back my correct numbers in the sales table !!! Thanks Animal91X 18:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Please may NO one - with out evidence - change the seventh generation sales figures as they are CORRECT. If any one may visit any of the 3 consoles wiki pages and the sales figures are incorrect please correct them. Animal91X 17:46, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

remove the sales numbers

Those numbers are false! They are heavily disputed and gamespot is not a valid source. How can we believe those numbers when NPD doesn't back them based on sales from the same site? NPD has the 360 at 6.3 million flat in the USA and Media crate has the 360 at 400k plus in Japan...That is SOLD not shipped, so are we to believe that the 360 has only sold 2.2 million in every other nation in the world? Sorry if I think something doesn't add up here. Pardon me if something just doesn't seem right, at best the numbers should be left N/A until more reliable numbers are given. To further back this that study didn't include all nations as countries like Canada and Australia are not included.

"Those numbers are false! They are heavily disputed and gamespot is not a valid source." - They are not heavily disputed, as far as I can tell. Give me a valid source that disputes that claim. GameSpot is considered a valid source, having been cited many times. "How can we believe those numbers when NPD doesn't back them based on sales from the same site? NPD has the 360 at 6.3 million flat in the USA and Media crate has the 360 at 400k plus in Japan...That is SOLD not shipped, so are we to believe that the 360 has only sold 2.2 million in every other nation in the world?" - If you had read the article, you would find that the data is for July 31, 2007. You are comparing the numbers in the article to data given at the end of August 2007. "Sorry if I think something doesn't add up here. Pardon me if something just doesn't seem right, at best the numbers should be left N/A until more reliable numbers are given." - Seems reliable enough to me. "To further back this that study didn't include all nations as countries like Canada and Australia are not included." - Prove that they are not, please. 71.17.35.93 02:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

wrong price

Also if it hasn't been changed, the 360's price was dropped to 349. Check all stores.

(Death is a right)

It hasn't been changed because of the very large sign at the top of this page.(They are the launch prices!)--Kyle_(talk) 04:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

dispute

Even at the end of July the numbers would have been at 6.0 plus, maybe 6.1 because the 360 sold 277k in August and they have been at 400k in Japan for months, thats 6.4 million and based on those numbers only 2.5 million in the rest of the world. If you look at the Wii it says 9 million, the wii sold 400k in us last month, so that 3.6 million at the end of august, it passed 3 million as of July 15th, so at the end of the month it would have been 6.6 million and only 2.4 million elsewhere even with the fact it sold over 700k in europe in december of 2006. Are you saying it sold only 1.64 million there in 7 months? Thats only 234k a month europe wide..Nope it doesn't add up!

Read the article again, it states australia and canada are not included.

Sorry, but only europe, the us and japan are counted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Death is a right (talk • contribs) 04:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

What exactly are you disputing? The fact that the article says the sales are from the entire world or are you disputing outside sources? Could you please clarify?

Worldwide Sales table

I see that someone has rechanged the sales table after I reverted the changes that person has made. I was just curious which one people prefer- the previous one (the one I like) or the one that 87.127.157.166 and KP-TheSpectre changed it to?--Kyle_(talk) 18:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I was just going with the pattern, as it is like my version in the previous 6 generations pages —Preceding unsigned comment added by KP-TheSpectre (talk • contribs) 18:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
