It does not have the slightest chance. It needs to sell 25m+ in its last dying years. That is almost 100% of what it sold LTD, and there's no chance of that happening, even if it has 10 Halos coming out next year. Hell, next 2 years would need to be as good or better than 2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010 and 2011 COMBINED !!. Seriously, anypne who thinks this has the slightest chance of happening is extremely delusional abouth the subject

After this year it will only need to sell about 19 mil. And at that point it will only need roughly half of its LTD sales in Americas. So i dont get where you get this "almost 100% of what it sold LTD" thats simply not true.

And how can you say dying years? Its busy having its best year! It will likely be down nexy year yes but not by too much. The way Sony and MS are going they are looking at late 2013 or 2014 releases for their next consoles. This gen is longer than most.

360 has yet to make the move to a budget line console...which is why i think they holding out on price cuts. They are about one or two price cuts away from being a true budget console. If ms choose to do this then it will last pretty long.

360 has one strong year left (maybe two depending on wii u success) in it followed by declining year over year sales. Its not gonna just stop selling.
