I started off lurking over there and people kept on talking about VGcharts and I checked them out and found them to be much more intouch with whats going on in the market.

| DRJ said: Well MS SHIPPED 10M by 12/31/06 and since then they have SHIPPED .5M more so if they sold 100% they would be at 10.5M only. And last I checked 360 was not sold out anywhere. So if I am not mistaken, the other site seems overly optimistic. |
Nexgenwars is not to be used at all. At allllll.
MS has announced they shipped 10.5 total 360s. How the HELL could the 360 have SOLD 10.66? lol
gebx - It was a joke, the numbers were adjusted right after the Japanese chart was posted. ;)

"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
I really wish there was some way we could find out 360 failure rates. I don't wanna start a heated debate about this in this thread, but it would be interesting to know if somehow replacement systems were inflating 360 sales at all.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
nexgenwars' numbers are very random and have a margin of error of atleast +/-15%.

They annlunced 10 million sold, when they ship they count as sold which they shouldn't...
I don't think the Elite is gonna have a huge effect, but we'll see. |
Elite won't have ANY GOOD effect. I don't remember new versions that actually costed more than on market version ever being successful.
It's either same price or cheaper. Not more expensive. Microsoft logic at its best. But hey it was probably original design for 360. It reminds me of XBox 1.
(and by the way my Wii passes XBox 360 within July prediction doesn't look quite so crazy now, does it?)

WE ARE THE NATION...OF DOMINATION!
The Elite has had an effect. It has incsreased the 360 sales by about 40,000 in the last two weeks. Over the previous two weeks. So there is SOME GOOD effect, but not much, and it wont continue for very long.
