Has the 360 turned the corner in North America?

In all fairness, people need to make up their minds.

Position A: All people who like Halo bought the 360 before it released.

Position B: All people who like Halo bought it when it launched.

Position C: All people who like Halo bought it after the initial rush.

Well, we're sitting here a month after Halo and the 360 is still selling like unmarked pistols in Watts. After awhile, someone has to make up their mind as to what is going on with the 360.

At this point no one really knows, and making up your mind based on a situation that could go any direction with equal possibility is just dangerous. Speculation is all we can offer now, not answers, it really boils down to whether you want this prediction of the 360 turning the corner to be true or not.

We know that A & B are completely untrue. That leaves C...

My point was to make a prediction thread, not argue what has already happened. You basically predicted that you don't expect 360 sales to last, I have no problem with that. Isn't that the entire point of this thread?

PS. Sorry for quoting you and starting a mini-rant about earlier Halo predictions. That was not my intention.

How about option D: Not everybody who likes Halo has bought a 360, and some of them never will.

  The Halo surge is certainly longer and stronger than just about anybody could have guessed. It looks like it will carry right on into holiday season. As if it wasn't enough of a massive success already, there are going to be a lot of little spawnlings who find an Xbox under the tree, I think.
