Kowenicki if you're going to say I said something retarted like X360 software is performing worse in 2010 than in 2005 you should at least show everyone where I made the claim instead of just exaggerating how stupid I am for your own amusement.
I don't know that I was totally off-base comparing Q4 2008 to Q4 2010 for X360. October 2010 (768k) was down for X360 against October 2008 (804k) when I last checked the data points. November will be up. When some of the Kinect impact wears off in December, logically you'd split the difference between Oct vs Oct and Nov vs Nov. X360 will sell 850k / 900k or something in the USA in Nov (about 1m in the Americas) - which puts it at 1.55m in December. Japan adds 50,000. EMEAA is similar to the USA. Call it 3.25m worldwide, if we include the rest of the world, and 3.15m for USA, Europe, Japan. It's not like I'm going to be much out for December, and you were only 500k different from my Dec prediction anyway, get over yourself.
X360 has also NEVER doubled in the USA from Nov to Dec, its always more like 1.5x to 1.8x growth, except in 2006 when it had far weaker numbers and went from 500k to 1.1m, so its hard to get worked up about Kinect changing that, as price drops should have made X360 more seasonal, with bigger lifts too. Instead the lifts remained in the 1.5x to 1.8x range. Over 2005-2009, avg growth for X360 from Nov to Dec was exactly x1.65, so there is no reason to expect a 2m December or whatever.
