Forums - Gaming - FEATURE: Is Xbox 360 Past Its Peak?

xbox 360 is doing fine for the time being. 2 years from now will be another story.

A lot of you guys predicted the demise of the PS3 last year, but it is he 360 that looks to be losing momentum.

Even though it's guaranteed to sell better than xbox, going from 2nd last generation to 3rd (ie: last!) this generation shows fundimental weakness unless it's a damn close 3rd. But heck, GC was only about 2m behind xbox (is actually ahead now) when 360 launched and it was considered a flop (profitability notwithstanding) by all..

 Umm no it's not.



I dont think MS have to worry at all.
Current sales arent a problem.
PS3 is doing what it's doing for 2 reasons.
1. Pre christmas price drop.
2. HD DVD failiure.

The comment that the Library advantage is getting closer isnt really right.
There are very few exclusives for PS3 even in 08 compared to 360.

MS will be nering a price drop currently here in UK Premium pack is £249.
Get that to £199 and core Arcade to £159 and Sony will have serious sales problems again. Also if a Blu Ray add on comes out this year (E3 announcement?)
That would be it.



I'm not going to read that monster post, but I will say that the 360 could spike up with GTA for a moment. Also, if Microsoft manages to make Halo 4 before the next generation they could peak again. That's my thought.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

yes the 360 hit its peak with Halo 3. The next Halo will not have as much hype because for many Halo 3 was a major letdown(its there own fault for having their hopes too high)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

got through the first few paragraphs, then realized how long it'd be to read...and stopped.



I count 31 paragraphs.

 A lot of people were disappointed in Halo 2 as well, but still, Halo 3 sold extremely well. 

 And If there will be a new Halo (main series) I think it will be on the next XBOX and therefore get a massive amount of hype.
