    Yeah, this Xmas pretty much all of my friends got a Slim... Most of them say it was because:

    1) I kept nagging them about it
    2) They finally had a reason other than me nagging them to buy one - It now has more/better games (in their opinions)

    Wow, nearly 4 million sales in just a little over a month, not bad.

      That's actually kind of amazing. They use to average around 700,000 per month...right?

        I'm not really sure about what the average is, but I'd say it was less than a million before the Slim (can't estimate how much less though)
