You are predicting the 360 this BF to be down almost 200,000 YoY? Even with way more deals this year?

Yes, mainly because last year Kinect was the big thing which drove sales on BF plus the deals last BF were about the same as this one. The only reason why the 360 did so good this past week was because of the special consoles which really boosted sales. So I do expect it to be down.

 

Plus whatever I think is going to happen with consoles, the opposite usually happens

Hahaha, well that's good about the last part there!

However, to your part regarding the sales being about the same, that is entirely untrue. Last year, the best deals for 360 were basically $50 gift cards. This year it is possible to get any model/package of a 360 console for at least $100 off AND/OR have gift card deals on some of them. Even Kinect standalone is on sale for $50 off or with gift cards.

checked bfads.net archive for last year.target was only store I found that had $50 gift card for360.
