Truly awesome numbers. A good indication of what a real price cut would do too...
360 will be massively up YOY... Perhaps it could have its best year in its sixth after all? |
Eh? It'll probably be down 20k-40k YOY.

i know... I was a week behind... still... its trending the right way at last.

kowenicki, are you among those who believe the next Xbox console will be released next year?...with the 360 having such a good sixth year, I keep thinking '2013' for the successor, not next year.

I honestly dont know anymore

I think MS would be crazy to release a new unit now. 360 is still selling fine for them and growing marketshare and brand, and games like CoD continue to sell hugely on the console. Sure, overall sales, etc. seem down but that's more down to Wii and not MS's problem.
A new console risks slowing sales of 360, would probably hit 360 chance to grow more outside US/UK where a more expensive console with Live would likly be less attractive than 360 is now.
2013 seems earliest likly slot on current trends.

Although the 2012 release date is just rumour...i think the motivation behind that is to not give wii U time to gain market share...and to beat Sony out the door again.
I dont think it will happen either, Wii U doesnt look particularly threatening at the moment, so holding out til 2013 is probably best. I also think 360 is gonna have a stellar year 2012 :)
