I know...next week though we could see anywhere from 1 - 1.5 million plus any adjustments up for the past two weeks once NPD reports in January.



I expect big adjustments up for 360 and Kinect, VGchartz has been undertracking both for some time.



There will probably be a 25-50K adjustment for the XBox 360 next week. Kinect bundles are selling like crazy. Every retailer I do into I see someone playing it.



yeah, but they are doing their best to figure it out.  It's tough when a product that used to do average sales is suddenly selling out, it changes their calculations.

Naw, it will clear 50M pretty easy. After this week 360 is at 49,008,718 worldwide, and next week is the biggest week of the year.  I am expecting:

Week ending 12/25/2010: 1.1M

Week ending 1/1/2011: 460k

Total worldwide: 50.650 Million

So it will be about 650,000 over 50 million, pretty nice.

I'll just have to assume you have your weeks or its current total mixed up.  It's at just over 49 million now and VGC still has 2 more sales weeks to report for this year, with one of those being THIS week leading up to Christmas day, quite often the biggest sales week of the year.

Such a bold prediction this was.  Quite amazing to see it coming to fruition.



Congrats in anticipation to 360 making 50 million. I only gave it an outside chance, but it's gonna breeze past 50 milllion. And even if there are some downward adjustments I don't think they'll be so large as to bring it back under 50 million by year's end.
