Really? I thought 2006 was the year of 360? Oh, and 2007 was the 360s peak year. So....2008 is the peak year too?
FAST FORWARD "2009 was the 360s peak year. Just wait, in 2010 the PS3 is going to murder it with a price cut!" -- Generic quote made by those who do not Jump In in October-November 2009 Holy cow I think I saw the future. |
How would 2006 or 2007 be the 360's peak year? When have I ever said that? Oh, you're trolling? Oh, okay.
Ehm.
Anyway, I'm simply repeating what TheSource has said many times before. The third year of sales is the peak year. And most consoles follow that trend to a "T". Given the price point of the system, and the resulting sales, it's fairly obvious that the 360 will have the bulk of it's sales this year. There will not be any price drops next year, given how often and much they dropped prices this year. We won't see a sub-200 360 for a good while in NA, and with the two price cuts in EU, there's no price cut coming next year. JP, maybe, but 360 is dead over there. The perfect storm that was price cuts will not happen again in 2009, and by 2010 MS will be gearing up for the next XBOX.
Trust me, 360 sales will not be higher for Calendar Year 09 than Calendar Year 08.
If you disagree with me, you also disagree with TheSource.
P.S. Your psychic skills suck ass.
Edit:
Well the third full year is normally the peak year of a console anyway.
