Will this be the X360's Peak Year?

Yes 57 43.85%
 
No 73 56.15%
 
Total:130

People think the 360 sales will go down in 2010 but the PS3 sales will peak in 2010. Systems usually peak in their third year. PS3 to peak in its fourth year would defie logic. Wii peaked in its second year and has dropped in sales.

Both systems totals will be around 10% down on 2009 sales totals. PS3 sold 13 million in 2009- it will sell only 12 million in 2010. 360 sold 10 million in 2009 it will sell only 9 million in 2010. The Wii will also follow suit and sell 10% less in 2010 than 2009.

It could probably go either way, the line up is fantastic and the chance of a future price cut help's, but if those two factors don't work then it'll probably do worse than 2009.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

As others have stated, it ALL depends on public reaction to Project Natal's final form and software. If its huge, look for 2011 to be a big, BIG year.



With Natal, and a possible price cut/slim release, plus there being a huge number of amazing titles coming out this year (Halo: Reach) I believe this very well could be the 360's best year.



The 360 almost certainly peaked in 2008 unless theres a huge price drop this year.

It really has the same kind of demand and market of the original Xbox and really doesn't seem to have much to reach beyond that. Natal seems like a sort of beefed up eye toy and not much more "market extending" than that was (which is to say marginally extending). When I see some of the games Sega and others are making they practically scream eyetoy to me compared to move/wii stuff.

I would guess a bit under 10 million 360, 17 million Wii and around 13-15 million PS3.

It's pretty hard to see things changing based on a survival horror game and another Halo as the only big exclusives. Everyone who wants to be a space marine bought a 360 a LONG time ago.

Maybe, maybe not. It really doesn't matter what people say as most people here have very little imagination so they assume that anything they cannot see doesn't matter or doesn't exist or will fail.



Tease.
