It was one thing for Avinash to have insanely optimistic Wii predictions -- when we really had no idea how high demand truly was. But these insanely PESSIMISTIC 360 predictions only make Avinash look very, very foolish.

I'm not being pessimistic, i'm being realistic, this is 360's fourth year, and there will be likely be a slowdown in its sales, so 35 million as the top of the range is not unrealistic at all

10 million in 2008 being followed by 3 million in 2009 isn't "slowdown", it's DEATH.  You're predicting that the 360 will just DIE in 2009. 

Check out the way Gamecube sales went.  The 360 will more probably sell like it did in 2007, or at worst 2006.  What DID it sell in 2006/7 anyway?  I don't know but I know it was more than 3 million. 

People let their fanboy views get in the way unfortunatly :(

A good estimation for the PS3 would be between 7.5 - 10 million next year, unless its price is dropped its sales have got nowehere to go but down. Its the sales earlier in the year that gave it that ten million year total. If it got a price drop who knows, sales woulnd't sky rocket like the 360's though. See people fail tos ee the 360 price drop was more than a price "drop" it was a drop to get it to mass market .... hence why its selling 900K plus this week .. more than the PS3 did after its price drop and more than the 360 did after its first price drop. Theres price drop and there is mass market price.

 

PS3 won't reach mass market price next year ....

As for the 360, we havn't seen what it can do in slow months with its new price, if anything it will do the same as last year if not (most likely) even better. 10 - 12 million
