Wii fan finalsquall? Most xbox fans are disgruntled nintendo64 fans after sony pwnt the previous two generations =D



Around the Network

People are also forgetting fable. It was one of the best selling games on the xbox last gen and the sequel looks much better. I think it will easily outsell the last version, I know its speculation but most games that sold well on the xbox sell even better on the 360. It will sell at least 3 million and will get the 360 even more RPG fans.



DAMAGE CONTROL FTW starcraft!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

BTW

there are no massive rumors of a 360 price drop....stop making things up

==> too much hardcore, massively online, peter molyneux promess = average sales

at the opposite :

Motorstorm2 : 4 player offline = gg Sony

and possible GT5 prologue update for fall = gg sony

MS need a racer or a big party game (something better than Viva Pinata...)
Banjoo Kazooie anyone ?

starcraft,

I agree with your analysis and prediction about price-cut and it's before-and-after effects.

But what do u reckon will be the nu SKU (if there will b one)?
I reckon it will be the long rumoured 60GB Pro.  Possibly also something with the Xmote, but to be honest I dont think it will appear this gen.

There IS massive speculation of a 360 price drop.

There is also no doubt that Microsoft is better positioned to provide one than Sony is.

starcraft is getting desperate these days. We will wait and see what happens in the second half of the year starcraft. PS3 should outsell the 360 by between 2 to 3 million worldwide in second half of the year.

Nintendo Wii will easily outsell both the 360 and PS3 combined. I guess Wii will be at around 50 to 51% market share by the end of the year. Xmas sales will see huge sales of the Wii. 6 million Wiis for Xmas period is possible. 3 million PS3's for Xmas period. 2 million for 360 for Xmas period. 



Good Luck x360, you will need it. =)))
NG2 was BIG system seller. =))))))))



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

In the last week, several high-profile JRPG exclusives were announced for the Xbox 360, whereas the PS3 actually had titles CANCELLED.

I'm far from desperation, I'd think this would be more within the realm of people that follow brands rather than games, and expected a certain brand that went from outright first to dead last in the space of two years to be doing somewhat better.
