Only 3 hardware I can think of is.. Kinect, Move, and Rock band piano.

Well you would expect that from a sports game that sold 65K to pc users.
1.1M is alot for 6 weeks. on average the price the game was sold for is $50 And manufacturing cost them around 10M total then there is also the NBA subsidy and they still come off with 30-35M dollars. If I was developing NBA elite 11 I would have invested in NBA 2K11 a couple of months back, But that would be insider trading I think?.

Congrats to 2K. I don't think we've seen a developer effort to improve a sports game across the board in a calendar year as 2K attempted with 2K11. Well deserved

Of course it would lead in sells.. Its a good game and it's out in every console ever made. But sells dont really dictate that a game i specifically better than another game

You mean how more popular American football is then football in America looool (you kinda set yourself up for that one )

Fantastic news for 2K and well deserved. Guess the green light for 2K12 is bright and shining!

The number one sports game at number one. Justice is done.

The drop in hardware sales is meaningless. The current generation of consoles have been around a few years now. It stands to reason that most people that wanted one of these machines now owns one. I would expect that a fair number of current sales include the replacement of broken, out of warranty units.
