November 2004 was the highest Nov. for the Xbox, the highest (or near highest) November EVER for a non-launch month for a console in history, and allowed the Xbox become the ONLY system to beat the PS2 out for a month. It shattered PS2 sales in December as well. (they both sold nearly the same # of units). Thats a huge coup for Xbox in 2004, as PS2 sales were nearly as strong the next Dec. Fact is, weather people like it or not, GTAIV and H3 coming out within 1 week of eachother on the same system is HUGE. I hate Halo, and I really could care less for the game, but it's proven to be a system mover, and will do that immensely in November. I see the 360 easily beating the Wii and PS3 out in Nov and Dec. heck, it could beat Wii+ PS3 combined in November. Unlikely? Not when you consider that the Xbox did the same vs. PS2 and GC when H2 came out...And that was w/o a GTA game coming out on the system, and no price drop that was near it (as significantly as the $100 will be when MS does it before both games come out) |
Honestly, did ever anyone think about Halo to bomb? I don´t mean really "bomb" but the graphics seem to be far away from the best on the consoles. Yes, it has it´s name but XBox owners want great graphics too and Halo 3 doesn´t look that great - good but not great. I think this could really drop the sales of Halo 3. And btw: Nintendo DS sells better than PSP even if something like Monster Hunter portable 2nd is released in Japan - so maybe the wii could too? (I don´t know...)
