Isn't the 360 still $250 for the 250gb model? I think there's plenty of room to price drop. Selling less than 4m more units is simply not possible.


It sold around 5.5 million in 2013 and that was half of its previous year's sales.  Based on that, 4 million is VERY possible if the trend continues.  Keep in mind that was on the lower end of the prediction though...

Actually, it sold 5.5m up to December 14. The most recent week's numbers add an additional 400k.

Considering the 360's price has barely altered since 2008, there's plenty of room to drop the price. And even if they never drop the price and the hardware drops off at the same rate, it'll essentially have reached your number by the end of next year.

Of course that 84m was on the lower end of the prediction, but there's no point in listing that low a number in the range you gave when it's not even possible.
