Every week it seems more and more improbable...

 

...of course, with Halo and MW3, anything can happen, right? And Kinect could be crazy again, like last year. Seems like you know something we don't Seece. Willing to give us a few hints?

I fully understand it seeming improbable to a lot of people, and MW3 will give 360 a great boost but that will really only affect the next 2, maybe 3 weeks, Halo won't really do anything significant for HW, it's just a remake.

True. Looking down the Americas pre-order chart from this week, it would seem that Halo is the only real exclusive that could really push some HW (and, as you said, it's a remake anyway, so it's unlikely to do more than a 5-10% boost by itself, but factor in the holiday rush and you're looking more like 15-20% up WoW at least).

I suppose it all comes down to advertising and Kinect then. There's also some pretty sexy 360 bundles in Walmart for Black Friday, so that could help.

Number 1 for 2011? Probably not. Number one for the holiday period? De-throning the Wii? Now that's not out of the question...

De throning the wii won't be remotely difficult, Nintendo are only forecasting about 7 mill shipped this holiday, both Sony and MS expect to do more than that.

Wii will sell well like it always does, and won't be as down this year as previous years, but it will be down. PS3 is the 360's target not Wii, 360 is already ahead of Wii this year in shipments 2 mill.
