Will this be the X360's Peak Year?

Wow 50/50 so far.

I went with no, but you certainly make some strong points and it could go either way. Basically I'm seeing this year as a strong year for PS3, and I'm thinking that PS3 sells better in 2010 than it did in 2009. I see Wii falling off a tad this year, but still sellling at around the 20 million level. So with those things in mind I just don't think the market is large enough for 360 to have a peak year. It's not that I want 360 to fall short of 2008 it's just that with the positions I see PS3 and Wii I don't think there's the room for it.

The Fates of 360 and PS3 are linked though. So far it's PS3's year to lose and people seem to think momentum hangs on how well the public receives the respective motion controls. I don't see either of them having much effect on console sales over all and it'll come down to whether 360 puts a bit more daylight between it and PS3 on the pricing front. Elite at $250 (slim or otherwise) with PS3 staying at $299 will change the game especially in the Americas.
