Any of you guys actually do the math?

People who post these things know exactly what they are talking about.
They look at trends and sales and predict.

Now the 360 sold 2.8 million consoles last year during the same timeframe, if it just MATCHES that it will break 16 million, and we expect it to exceed that.

yes 17 million is far fetched

I agree with you Lost, in that people are clearly not looking at things properly, it should be able to get about 15.75 to 16 million by my guess.

So i agree with you on your point, but your numbers are wrong. Last year the 360 did 2.8 million in November and December...so your starting point should be the beginning of November, not 2 weeks in.

as of week ending 3rd November 360 was at 12.95 million, if we add 2.8 million to that is will make it to 15.75 million....I expect it to do slightly, but not that much better than last year. (if you compare the lines from last to this year, despite 360 being higher before christmas, they have actually crossed paths now, 360 last year was higher for the week ending the 18th than 360 this year was for 17th. not quite sure about when all those weird American holidays fell though, which may have helped last years w/end 18th)

Why i stated around 16 million

I was guessing it was 13.1 million beg of nov, guess i was 150k off

Either way, it will be close to 16 million
