I think 50 million for the Xbox 360 is pretty unlikely. 2008 is probably the 360's last good year, after that, sales will decrease. I think Xbox 360 will end up with just over 40 million units sold.

If u remember in late 2007, a lot of people said the same thing about 2008. The X360 would start struggling after having all it's high profile already released.

I don't think the market works that way.

Just freeze time for a moment and think - if the X360 is selling well right now - because it is - what will be so much different a year from now?

I mean, there is not a single peice of evidence pointing that X360 is slowing down. Don't get me wrong, 2008 might very well be it's peak year, but saying "360's last good year" suggests a drastic drop off and that there are strong arguments to back it up.

I may have worded that a bit shady, what I meant was that from 2009 on, the 360 will slowly decrease in sales, not that it will take a nose dive. In other words, I think the 360 will be over 50% of its sales after this year.
