After seeing this week's EMEAA numbers I can't see the 360 matching the 2008 holiday. It's going to start being dramatically down in that region compared to 2008 come the end of September. And I still suspect we're overtracking it in that region. I stand by my 500k up on 2008 prediction.

same old same old from you, "overtracked blah blah", Others sales are fine, and not the main driving force for X360 sales over xmas anyway.

I said 'suspect'. I never stated our numbers are off. I'll gladly concede my error if Gfk proves my suspicion unfounded. :edit: And before you go accusing me of bias, Source thinks it won't match holiday '08 either.

The Source thinks that 2010 was the worst year for 360 software ever, The Sourse also thinks kinect will do nothing and The Source  predicted the lowest 360 sales of all the VGC community in the prediction thread for holidays 2010. 

See a pattern?

PS. ioi disagrees with his predictions for this holiday.

have a look at this... particularly near the bottom of the thread.   http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=114610&page=1#

 

Hmm, I didn't realize he had the lowest prediction in the community. Although I seem to be correct with my EMEAA being dramatically down on 2008 prediction. The Source seems to be pretty pessimistic but like I said I'll wait untill we have Gfk, NPD, and quarterly report data. And I'll refer you back the Canadian sales thread.

:edit: And I'm not trashing on ioi but it's not like either he or the Source are infallible. He also predicted that Move would have no impact and would only sell about 65k in Americas in September.
