I too think they will only be able to reach that goal with price cuts. The PS3 is clear ahead of the 360 in hardware sales exactly since its price cut, because right now the PS3 simply is the better deal for the money.
Natal will boost 360 sales a little, but with it's late 2010 release it will not be able to save the year alone, so a price cut will probably happen in early 2010 already.
But I think it will be a hard year for the 360 even with price cuts. 2010 is going to be a huge year for the PS3, with things like Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3 etc. coming up. And of course the Playstation Wand, which probably won't be quite as successful as Natal, but with it's much earlier release it will probably still outsell Natal at least in 2010. |
I am so tired hearing things about the PS3 lineup. The only game that could move hardware is GT5. Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers won't do anything. Sure, they will be fun, but they won't move hardware at all. God of War 3 will do good software sales, but the hardware bump will be pretty small (maybe a bit more than Killzone 2 did) and not last long.
I am confident to say that the 360 games will outsell PS3 games in 2010. The lineup for the 360 in 2010 in simply untouchable saleswise. So, Xbox 360 will sell more software in 2010 than the PS3.
- Halo Reach: at least 8 million LTD YES (VERY conservative 12 million is possible NO)
- Fable III: about 3 million LTD MAYBE
- Splinter Cell Conviction: 3-4 million LTD YES
- Mass Effect 2: more than 2 million LTD YES
- Alan Wake up to 2 million LTD DEF NO
- CoD next: 6-7 million LTD YES
- Bioshock 2: more than 2 million LTD YES
- Mafia II: 1.5 million LTD YES
- Max Payne 3: 1.5 million LTD YES
- Crackdown 2: 1.5 million LTD YES

Yes doesn't mean it'll sell more software. Yes just means it'll reach that Life time guess.

Yeah, of course I meant these numbers as lifetime numbers. Not 2010 numbers. But the multiplat releases like
- Bioshock 2
- Mafia
- Max Payne 3
- Madden 11
- Lost Planet 2
- Dead Rising 2
- CoD next
- Medal of Honor
etc are all very designed for the shooter loving Xbox 360 community. And the exclusives are looking awesome as well. That is why I think the Xbox 360 will move more software in 2010 than the PS3.
