It will just miss it, a strong 2nd half like in 2010 outweighs a strong 1st one like this year.


They actually haven't been that strong compared to last year. They are only tracking above last year by apx. one million consoles sold.

1M more in the weakest half maybe isn't stellar, but it's not bad either. OTOH keeping H2 2011 within 1M less than H2 2010 won't be easy.

I said 300k. Don't edit my posts!



I think Kinect will sell like hot cakes again this christmast because of the line up and a lot of people are still waiting to get their hands on it (casuals I mean) just thinking about one of my brothers and one of my sisters and some of their friends thinking about getting one. Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports 2 will sell like hotcakes not to mention the new Star Wars Kinect bundle. Add a price cut for both 360 and Kinect and all the games that sell better on 360 BF3, MW3. There's also Gears and Forza... this year is jampacked with incredible games for both casuals and hardcore gamers. We could be surprised. I voted yes.

The numbers are right there at the bottom of the original post. After the first half of this year, the 360 is up year over year by 300k units, not even close to one million.


ahh, my mistake

not sure about VG sales but shipment is very likely


I don't know why you'd make that kind of distinction. VGC has been spot on with 360's shipments this year so far and wildly overshot it in the quarter before that so it's very unlikely that VGC will undertrack it henceforth. It's actually more likely that VGC will overtrack it given the tracking in Q3/4 last year, though that's doubtful.

yes i still think they need to follow NPD to adjusment,but this time i'm not talking about over or undertracked...

well i have currently no sales data for MS 360 so i'm really not sure wht to say, but i do expect something similar to last yrs holiday selling season.

i still expect each console to sale 16m this fall. by yrs end i currently expect the 360 have 58-62m units sold.

i'm leaning on 62 though.



Honestly it has a VERY good shot at it and I think it will but just barely.

But I seriously doubt we see a price cut from MS this year.



I voted close, but will miss it. I think it will relatively have a strong holiday season, but will fail to replicate the Reach/Kinect sales boost from last year with Gears 3 and expected PS3 counter-pricecut.

You should ask your second personality that stealth edited your previous post!    Anyway, a not so stronger H1 2011 makes even more difficult for 2011 to beat 2010, we actually agree.

I voted that it would just do it but after looking at the sales figures i think they will just miss it. The only way they will pass it is with a price cut and a price cut will only happen if sony cuts the price of the xbox.
