You need to think over your numbers a little more before posting. You claim that the 360 will be at 15m at best by the end of the year. Right now it's at 12.75m, leaving 2.25m to cover in Nov-Dec. In 2006, the 360 moved roughly 3m units during that span. I think we can all agree that this year, it should improve on that number with Halo, Mass Effect, CoD, Assassin's Creed, Lost Odyssey, and a price cut across the board. That puts it at nearly 16m just if it duplicates last year's sales. So far in 2007, the 360 has sold roughly 7.6m consoles. Add in 3m (which will almost surely be higher) and you come in at roughly 10.5-11m sold in 2007. You said that at best, the 360 would be at 23m sold on January 1st, 2008. So, after it has seen at least one more price cut, you expect the console to move about 30% less units than it did in 2007... Care to rethink that statement? The sheer lunacy in this thread is staggering. 60m Wiis? C'mon, it will sell well but ramping up that kind of production quickly is hard to do. It will continue to sell, but not to the tune of 40m consoles in one calendar year. |
A little backhistory:
My view on Wii selling 60 million by end of 2008 came to me at the very same time I thought of the 20 million by the end of 2007 prediction which I brought to this forum in March.
People are not thinking about the flare-out. The 1st year things move a certain way and then the system begins to build on all the goodwill pushing sales even further with every subsequent year until the next gen starts.
I think I mentioned my 60 million here somewhere a few months ago. I need to look it up if I did post it here. I know that's been on my mind since the beginning of this year.
