I believe that will result in at least 16 million X360's sold by 31dec '07, and could well be over 18 million if MS cuts the price (which I'm certain they will, well before the holidays). If my prediction of an august price cut becomes real, I foresee this (NA sales):
Aug: 500 k
Sep: 600 k
Oct: 800 k
Nov: 1.0 m
Dec: 1.7 m
-------
= 4.6 mill

Multiply that with approx 1.5 and you get a world-wide figure of roughly 7 million, which added to the 11 million you have by august according to your graph gives you the 18 million X360's sold by years end. :)

That's insane.  There's no way in hell the 360 will get those numbers.  They will be reasonably fortunate to pull 1 million in December and 600k in November.

I think 15 million by the year's end for the 360 is a bit generous.

 

I agree with you bigfatj there is no way 360 will hit 18 million. I also think that 15 million is a bit generous.

You got to be kidding me it took 360 19 months to sell 10 million. Now all of a sudden they are going to sell 8 million in 6 months. If you look they only sold 2.1 million for the first 6 months this year. You think they are going to jump up to 8 million in the next six months. Not a chance.
