Forums - Sales - 17 million for 360?

Maybe, maybe not.
I think it will reach over 16 m, but not more than 17m.



Carpe Diem!

13.3 + 2.3 = 15.6

so I believe 17.5 is just impossible
even more considering that the PS3 is accessible in Europe.
The Xbox360 is not alone anymore.
time will tell.


Are you still talking about my 17.5 million number? I already told you that's the MAXIMUM according to my prediction that I made like a month ago. I don't think it will happen, but 15.5 will happen for sure. It will likely surpass 16 million actually (going by current vgchartz numbers).

I have already saved this thread link and will bump it next year ;)

==> ok, you are right, it is only your maximum.
Considering the number from 2006, price cut and very good line-up,
16M seems ok for me.



Time to Work !

I think somewhere in the 15 mil range will be where the 360 tops off this year. The only way I can see it reaching 17+ mil is if M$ announces that GTA IV is going to be exclusive, or that mgs4 or ff13 will be coming to their system. I highly doubt anything like that will happen so I don’t think the 360 will reach 17 million this year.

Even if they doubled sales per week, they likely couldn't pass 16 million (too lazy to do math).

Blast.. if only there was some sort of special shopping season between now and the end of the year where console sales were more than likely to spike........


I laughed.

Hilarious.

And that's exactly what I accounted for.

DOUBLED SALES.

Holy shit.

 


Holy shit, you didn't respond to this from NJ5:

"Yeah they would, and doubling sales isn't exactly surprising during the holiday season..."

 

If you don't think the 360 will pass 16 million by the end of the year, would you like to place some sort of bet on that?  Either way I'll bookmark this thread so I can laugh at you in January.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

16 million is very possible, as long as MS sells the same ammount of 360s as they did last year they will break that barrier, and i expect even more sales.



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

1 month to sell 3.5 million..

I dont see why not.

It only has to sell 875k a week...

Easy.


II was being sarcastic, my signature kills it all.


 

i think he was also being sarcastic

i think it might do 16mil



How about if it tops the Xbox sales by the end of next year?



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I think breaking 16 million or not depends a lot on whether the 360 was overtracked last month or not. According to NPD it was, but we'll only know for sure when shipment reports come out, most likely in the middle of January.
