X360-fans rejoice!
Despite it's higher price at $349, compared to Xbox at $179 for the comparable time period, the X360 is already outselling it's older brother by a wide margin.
Add to that the extented time span between generations this time around, between the X360 and the release of Xbox 3, which most people estimate will be in Nov 2011, and the X360 will have 6 effective years of sales compared to only 4 for the original Xbox.
With just the current sales increase of at least 23% it already means the X360 will sell 1.23 x 24 million = 29.5 million consoles.
If we add the longer life for X360, 6 instead of 4 years, means it will sell 1.5 x 29.5 million = 44.25 million units!
And if we add the yet unused potential in the X360 to drop it's price to mass market level (below $200) could mean at least another 20% increase over the original Xbox, 1.2 x 44.25 million = 53 million X360s!
It's good to be an X360-fan. Millions of gamers want the X360 experience. Already 19 million consoles sold. 12 million subscribing members on Xbox Live.
And most likely more than 50 million X360s sold in this generation!
