this is gold! but even as a PS3, wii, PC gamer i know better. i even voted yes yet still i know better. i just don't see it. it may sell less then PS3 for the next 5yr's but it isn't doomed. weather natal succeeds or failes 360 is not doomed. this is just one of those things that just happens? Microsoft is just in its second gen! sony just filled in ware there was nobody so ps1-2 became a succes. (Proud owner of PS1, PS2, PS3) I.M.O. 360 just like the other two has lots of life left in them. 360 is not dead. in that case this gen is over? you know 5yr life cycle.

2012 Predictions
PS3 108-120m
Wii 116m
360 80-108

Do the fairies in your imagination have purple wings?


no. they are PINK.

MARCUSDJACKSON, why do your predictions suck so much?  You think the PS3 is going to sell 70+ million in 2 years?  That is probably the most delusional prediction ever.  Then you think the 360 can sell 40-60+ million also and somehow the Wii only sells less than 50 million when it still outsells the HD consoles (almost in combined sales too).  Squilliam is right you live in a Sony fantasy world.  Being a PS3, Wii, PC gamer like you said you are then you should know better.  Frankly, you need to go back to videogame console sales 101.  Keep dreaming the PS3 will not hit 108-120 million by 2012.  Maybe sometime in the future you can actually post predictions that are actually worth a damn.



at first I was like nah........ but I sawed da no more haloz....... and now I'm like maybe :/ *shrugs shoulders*

Halo 1 - sold 6 million 

Halo 2- sold 8 million 

Halo 3 sold 11 million 

Halo 3 ODST- sold 4-5 million 

Halo wars is the only one that didn't sale like a normal halo game 1-2 million 

TBH, Halo Wars is no better than any Civilization game, but only because the name "Halo" was slapped on it did it sell even that much

The story was actually good fun and the secret collecting and medal chasing was fun.  The coop campaign was awesome too.  In fact it was without question one of the finest RTS ever released for consoles imo.  I doubt you played it through given the statement you've made which is a shame.



I'd say wishful thinking if the OP didn't have a green box under his name. One of the three vg console makers has run huge deficits to bolster their hw nos. and might conceivably be in some financial difficulty.

M$ on the other hand, makes $ on every console, has a growing pool of xbox live revenue and has sold 120m more units of software than their HD rival. Not to mention accessories. ($122 cdn. w. tx. for 60 GB YGTBFKM!). Does this sound like a company or a console that is doomed? Rip-off artists maybe but not doomed.

They entered the vg market to stop Sony from dominating the world's living rooms and competing with their core business. In just their 2nd gen. they are running consistently in the black. With the $4B entry fee (Xbox) and their mistake in rushing the 360 to market (rrod) long written off, the 360 is contributing roughly $1B/yr to the bottom line. It appears M$ are here to stay. Who knows, maybe next gen they could even compete with Nintendo.



It would be good to see the XBox 360 reclaim the weekly sales battle over the PS3. 360 Slim, price cut and Halo:Reach and Natal launch. The 360 could possibly equal the PS3 in sales for 2010 or fall within 1 million sales of the PS3 for 2010 sales total.

VGC is full of smug, arrogant Sony fans. I really hope the PS3 slows down in sales. Hopefully the XBox 360 once again proves you guys wrong again.

Another XBox 360 is doom thread. Same old crap rehashed over and over. I can not believe that the mods allow such a terrible thread to continue.
