Forums - Microsoft - X360 Hit 10 Million !!

kn on 20 November 2007

I don't see how it can't hit 10M on the VG Charts site... It's a given unless the 360 just fails to move anywhere near what it did last year... The U.S. install is at 8.5 million through Nov 10. We only need 1.5 million through the end of the year and if this year is anything like the last one, we should reach it easily.



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

I hate to say it, but I think the wii supply will have more to do with it than anything else. If it's too hard to get wiis, that will help 360 (and to a lesser extent PS3) sales.

 That said, I don't think there will be enough wii supply to keep the 360 from hitting 10 million...

no question



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

So you guys believe that the 360 will sell more this Christmas (in the U.S.) than last year? Why is that?

Last year 360 had no next-gen competition (both Wii and PS3 were sold out). Are you guys basing your opinion on the fact that more people will buy consoles this year? What am I missing?

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

I think most people are basing their opinion on the fact that the Xbox 360 is selling much better than last year.

 Uhh...because it's cheaper, it has Halo 3, and a much wider selection of hit games.  Not to mention it crushed last years October and September sales this year.  Krik, it seems like you got a train coming right at you blaring it's horn and you don't even see it coming.  How can you not know it will sell more this holiday?

kirk -

Probably because for the past 3-4 months, the X360 has been outpacing last year's 3-4 months. October, for example, the X360 via NPD was up 40%+ vs. last year. A significant increase.

When you have a system that's been selling alot better than last year for a decent bit of time (since August), it shows that the trend is, the system will sell better.

The X360 has faced brutal competition the past few months - continued Wii dominance, PS3 price drops, all in the middle of RROD problems, Moore quiting, and such. Yet despite that, it sells oh-so well since August. That shows that even from analysis standpoint it'll do a bit better. Add in the huge holiday lineup that MS has, all culminating in December, and it'll sell great (atleast 1.4m).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I think there is a decent chance if the present sales trend continues.
