Forums - Microsoft - Can the 360 be #1 on NPD again this year?

The 360 just beat the Wii for the first time since Halo 3 came out, how many more times do you think it will come out on top of NPD's numbers this year? I think it can get it 2-4 months with Reach, Natal, Splinter Cell, and with other exclusive games and features.

September

The Halo will make it so



If it happens, it'd be Halo month, though I suspect even halo won't provide a HUGE surge. Halo fanboys have consoles already. A limited edition model with Halo might spark some sales, though. Like a Halo model with H3, ODST and Reach all included?

The only other chance would be more supply constraints for the others or if Natal somehow is some mind-blowing mass-market phenomenon - the Tickle-Me-Elmo for the holidays. I personally don't see that happening ever, though - especially at its launch. I suspect the early games will be kind of lacking.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

yup the halo effect in sept...



 

You wanna have your opinion, then you have to respect different opinions as well.

 


Best MS can hope for is wii shortages.

Probably when Halo Reach launches.



The last four months of the year should be microsofts! With halo and natal and maybe even a price cut, I really think that they will take the cake.



  Kinect! who needs video games!

I really should bookmark this thread for later use the generalize every 360 fan using this thread by saying that every 360 fan though 360 would beat the wii in NA for the 4th quarter.

but nah... i'm not that immature and petty

Just the fact that you brought it up makes me think otherwise.

OT: It has a small chance but it will take some pretty prime conditions.



If Wii faces shortages like this again then yeah. But if it doesn't, then no.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
