By January 2009, do you expect the 360-PS3 gap to be close to 7 million?

I'm going to wait until next week to start predicting anything. If the 360 beats last years sales, beats the PS3 in sales and the PS3 does not beat its last years sales then I think we will really see momentum really built up for the 360 like we saw it for the PS3 late last year early this year.

The 360 needs a slim though. i know Jaspers have been spotted in the wild but the 360 needs to do the following:

-Get rid of the disc tray, it looks tacky
-built in Wi-Fi
-Make LIVE free
-Include a hard drive with the Arcade, but keep it the same price

All this + a mass market price + a good game line up = sure success IMO.

I would say slim the console down, but then I was thinking the hard drives might not fit, and that would cause a big problem. I'm sure they have something planned though.

 

 LIVE wont be free. As long as they pump out the good games, ppl will pay for live, liking it or not.

Built in wifi only adds to the cost, a big no-no for MS. Same with the hard drive for Arcade. the embedded 256 flash memory is suficient.

With the Valhalla chip slated for 09 holiday (one chip for GPU and CPU, instead of 2), that could very well mean a price cut or a slim 360. thats the time if there is one planned.

 

I'm not saying that it is going happen, I'm just saying all that would help, marketshare wise. With the built in Wi-Fi if they use the Valhalla chip they could spend some extra money working on putting Wi-Fi in and keeping the console at the same price.
