Forums - Sales - 17 million for 360?

I see the Xbox 360 hitting 16 million units before this year ends. We haven't even got into December yet and I expect 360 to reach 14 million sometime next week or the week after that.

And 15 million and 16 million units sometime in mid December and late December.

i highly highly doubt it will hit 16



it will never hit 16 mil thisyear



I don't see it coming :S.....



I don't see it hitting 16 mil, let alone 17

Any of you guys actually do the math?

People who post these things know exactly what they are talking about.
They look at trends and sales and predict.

Now the 360 sold 2.8 million consoles last year during the same timeframe, if it just MATCHES that it will break 16 million, and we expect it to exceed that.

yes 17 million is far fetched



                 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

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

Let's just say that it will be fun to bump these threads after 2008 arrives ;)

I agree with you Lost, in that people are clearly not looking at things properly, it should be able to get about 15.75 to 16 million by my guess.

So i agree with you on your point, but your numbers are wrong. Last year the 360 did 2.8 million in November and December...so your starting point should be the beginning of November, not 2 weeks in.

as of week ending 3rd November 360 was at 12.95 million, if we add 2.8 million to that is will make it to 15.75 million....I expect it to do slightly, but not that much better than last year. (if you compare the lines from last to this year, despite 360 being higher before christmas, they have actually crossed paths now, 360 last year was higher for the week ending the 18th than 360 this year was for 17th. not quite sure about when all those weird American holidays fell though, which may have helped last years w/end 18th)

EDIT; actually i believe i just gave the 360 an advantage, because that 2.8million was for 9 weeks over November and December.... so for what i said to work you either have to start from just after the week ending 27th October, meaning 360 this year is at 12.75 million instead of 12.95....or else also add the first week that ends in January.

Why i stated around 16 million

I was guessing it was 13.1 million beg of nov, guess i was 150k off

Either way, it will be close to 16 million
