Eh, DMJ is, for the most part, right.

The 3rd year is usually the year that sees cresting in terms of market demand.

However, what remains to be told is how slowly a given console drops after the 3rd year.

In the Playstation 2's case, it saw ~18 million units sold through in 03, ~15 million in 04, ~17 million in 05, ~12 million in 08, and another ~16 million since 07.

That's another 333% more units sold after it's 'crest' year.

Now, I must ask: If the X360 crests at 11-12 million units sold through...How would selling an additional 36-40 million Xbox 360's be a bad thing?

It wouldn't.

I know you didn't say that, but I never said that sales would fall off the dark side of the moon after year 3.  I simply stated sales will not be any higher than this year.  People seem to get too testy when you say something nowadays. 

But we shouldn't discuss this anymore, FishyJoe might ban you.
