Clearly missed BHR's sarcasm.

Anyway, I expect the 360 to post a 1mil week in December, for sure.

Both of whom keep on using trends that this generation consistantly bucks... there hasn't been a generation like this ever so pointing to trends only gets you part way there... I think that the bigger picture no one has a clue how sticky the Move is going to be considering many of the games that use it will be generally better on a standard controller.  And how will Kinect effect sales?  With Microsoft stagering everything out pretty even this year we may see some more trend bucking effects and there is the GT effect and how it will do and it's effect on the PS3's holiday sales in Europe especially.

"Italian Hardware in the X360 Slim'month (July):"

Italian numbers and Slim only cames out in 19 July or So so 10 days in the market or SO! You cant judge things for ONE MARKET!

So no one should seriously pay attention to ur fanboys comments...

have a nice day.

Perhaps if you had actually read my comment you'd see that I said 'IF this is to believed' and I'm not entirely convinced that they're real since there's no source. It's only one market but it could be indicative of the overall trend. Italy is actually one of 360's bigger markets in Europe marketshare-wise (about 30%).

1st give me a source than we talk... in UK those guys who report the numbers said that 360s sold like Xbox 360 in Launch (Around 70K) Old unit models deals etc... and you have 80-90K Range like VGC had 360 that week on U.K.

Oh, I wasn't referring to the the UK. More than likely our numbers there are correct. I was referring to mainland Europe. And to a lesser extent the Middle East and Asia. Has the slim even launched there?

Microsoft only said North America , Japan and Europe... Dont even know if Central america , South america and Asia have the 360s already... Australia and NZ have it for sure.

You know... im starting to think it might do 12.5-13M for the calendar year... Stranger things have happened, but its still strange either way. A huge 5th year peak?

I still doubt it will outsell 2008  (shrugs)

After seeing this week's EMEAA numbers I can't see the 360 matching the 2008 holiday. It's going to start being dramatically down in that region compared to 2008 come the end of September. And I still suspect we're overtracking it in that region. I stand by my 500k up on 2008 prediction.
