This year, the 360 will end up selling about 10M.
With the price cut (and maybe another one), and a nice momentum coming out of this holiday season - next year could be even better.
bdbdbd - "360 propably peaked in its 3rd year, so it should sell less in 2009."???
That's what the PS3 fanboys said about the 360 for 2008. "The 360 is dying", "The 360 has saturated its base". And look what is happening now. It is kicking ass globally.
What happened? the 360 was the first console to get to the $199 price point and it is really starting to tap into the mass market. No, it will never be a Wii, but it is gathering speed and momentum and it will not slow down.
Realistically, 10M units is the low end of the 2009 sales expectations. 13M units = an optimistic but possible scenario for the year.
Prediction made on 11/1/2008:
Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox, 9M PS3
