In terms of shipping, all microsoft have to do is ship 6 million this year .. selling, about 8 million.

In terms of shipping, it'll likely reach 50 million with Natal.

I think it will. Natal and the holiday boost should make sure if that. However they also might launch a slim model and or a price cut so that would easily set the 360 up to sell far beyond 45 million

with ease, i think it will end up around 50 million with the huge help of natal.

47-49 end of 2010 sold dont believe it will hit/pass the 50m mark but 49 is still close + margin of error kinda like wen the ps3 missed the 1mill mark sold in a week twice last year

its funny there are all these no's. Even if its the worst selling console all year, it will hit 45mil easy.

yea probably around the holiday it will hit that mark

Natal isn't coming by then, so its a low chance

It will reach 45 million with ease.

theres no way it wont hit 45 million
the bigger question is will it hit 50 million?

Yes especially with Natal and slim and probably another price cut. Also I'm pretty sure that the 250GB HDD will become the standard HDD for the elite pretty soon.
