Well 2010 will be the 360s last chance in its bitter battle against its arch nemesis the PS3 in the HD console sales war. 360 has been taking a huge onslaught from the PS3 in weekly sales. 8.3 million lead has withered down to 5.3 million in only 5 months. Next 8 months the 360 will have to ride out the storm. September this year will see 360 price cuts and Halo:Reach launch which may or may not improve the 360s fortunes.
It is Natal which may be the 360s last hope to extend the 360s lifespan and delay the PS3 from overtaking the 360. Providing of course that Natal is a sales success and captures soem of the casual market which the Wii has dominated. Whether Natal will be a hit with the hardcore 360 owners is yet to be seen, because Natal has not been launched.
"Is Natal the 360s last hope?"
