| Sky Render said: It's called "market saturation". You cannot sell a product to customers who do not want the product, and eventually your stock of customers who are willing to be convinced to buy your product dwindles. The 360 is starting to reach its market limit. That's not to say that it's going to drop into oblivion tomorrow or anything, but its sales are on the permanent downturn that nearly every console experiences by the end of their third year on the market. |
As previous console generations have proven, market 'saturation' is largely defined by price. The bulk of the 360's sales will come at mainstream prices, not at current prices, so long as it remains in production (unlike the GC and Xbox) and continues to receive third party support.
Given that it has very strong third party support, and Microsoft has vowed to support the 360 well beyond the short lifespan the original Xbox suffered from, current sales are nowhere near "market saturation."
