Ok. Let's take a look at this so called "Beginning of the end" for the 360. I'll be looking at NA sales for this hypothetical preface to apocalypse.
First off, here's NA sales aligned from launch for the Xbox, 360 and PS3

You may notice that the 360 is currently selling much better than it's predecessor and is currently 1.4 million above what the PS3 was at the same time. Sure the PS3 is catching up, but does that really constitute Chapter 1 of the 360's book of Revelations?
But perhaps these glimpses of destruction are derived from the 360's declining hardware numbers? Well if we look here

We see that the 360 is selling a fair bit more in 2008 than it was in 2007.
So if the console is seeing increased sales, greater success than it's predecessor and a substantial (if slowly declining) lead over it's HD competitor, how exactly is the ending about to begin?

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
