My good friends Squill and Kowen have said for a long time 2010 (or possibly 2011) will be the Xbox 360's peak year.

So this thread is in honour to them!

Sales from Q1/Q2.

2010 Q1/Q2 are around 826k ahead.

Sales from Q3/Q4 ongoing for 2010.

2nd Half VS Comparison

Those are the numbers.

1st Half, 2008 VS 2010 - X360 is up 826k

2nd Half 2008 vs 2010 - X360 is up 1,962k

Total - 2,788,000 Million UP

2008 - September price cut, $50 on each machine, NXE, and a lot of advertising.

2010 - June clearence stocks, Slim/Redesign, Upcoming - Arcade $199, more advertising than last year, at least on par with 2008, a Halo and of course Kinect.

Interesting. 360 is gonna kill it's 3rd year sales. Kill them this year. There will be 1 mill weeks in dec for 360 this year easily.

1M Weeks ?? Dude im not that sure... maybe 1M week but more ?? Well maybe if kinect is really a blast...

I really do love threads like these, the 360 is in for a killer year!  Keep up the good work seece

good work seece, i think the 360 will have its best year yet.

Are you related to John Lucas? Nevermind, it would be funny to see if only to hear the screams of anguish from Wii fanboys.

1 mill weekS is a stretch, one however shouldn't be too diffcult!

It could indeed be peaking in its 5th year. It shows how little respect this generation gives to past precedent!

Looking at the trends the Xbox 360 ought to be up roughly 800k assuming sales accuracy of Vgchartz by the end of this weeks recorded sales. By the end of July it ought to be up by roughly a million over 2008 assuming that its about 150-250k over 2008s results for equivalent weeks over the next two weeks.

The Xbox 360 according to the hardware table sold 6.7M consoles between the start of August and the end of December at an average rate of 320,000 consoles per week over the 21 weeks. To best this total the Xbox 360 would need to sell 6,000,000 or so at an average rate of 285,000 per week to be sure taking into account a margin of error.

So overall it is looking very doable especially as I would expect another appreciable bump of sales to coincide with the release of the Arcade revision in August as well as continued higher sales for the coming months against 2008s total which ought to put the 360 ahead of the required rate to peak this year.

I doubt the slim will have the same long term sales effects of the price cut. So I don't really see any millon selling weeks for the xbox this holiday.

Except of coure if theres a price cut! OR I dunno, Kinect might actually sell well or something.
