You have a very low upper limit for XBOX360... i think it can do around 5 Million too.. although i expect it to do around 4M +/- 250k...

I took 3.5M and 5.3M, because that is how much PS3/360 sold last year. And this year, they`ve changed their places. I mean, PS3 got pricecut and x360 got additional 60GB. But why x360 sales would go up(over PS3`s last year sales) without pricecut and on 4th year, is beyond me.
Maybe you know something, what i don`t?

So you are saying that total HD(PS3+X360) console sales will be equal to last year total HD console(PS3 + X360) sales??

I think XBOX360 is still the cheapest entry into the HD consoles at $199... secondly MS has a very strong fanbase n advertisement in US, so i m not expecting XBOX360 sales going to go much below than last yrs.. There r definitely going to be bundles also... Just like in Japan even when PS3 didn;t have any software and XBOX360 was getting all the exclusives, it didn;t fall to 2 - 3k level for much... So similarly in US XBOX cannot go to such low numbers.

Secondly i believe that total HD consoles (PS3 + X360) sales will be higher than last yr and they might eat a little into Wii sales ... and moreover 4th yr could still be the peak yr for XBOX360...
