X360 between the unstoppable force that is the Wii and the gaining momentum of PS3 it wont sell aswell as last year and Halo3 is releasing way way to early if it wants to help X360 in the holidays if Halo3 was released in Late November then X360 would own in America this Holiday but MS as always is arrogant of how the holidays work.MassEffect looks promising though but not at all at the level of Halo3.Interesting fact i found out about Halo it was originally planned for PS2,PC and Mac and going to be published by R*.....but MS had to have a flagship game and couldnt come up with anything of their own so bought out Bungie and thats the story of Halo on the Xbox.
If X360 sells 3m in America ALONE would only happen if 1.The Wii suddenly went out of manufacturing and 2.PS3 went up to $2000 at least so NOONE would buy it.

errr theres more games then just halo 3 and mass effect and for the ps3 gaining momentum i dont really see it doing that till it has a few games then i think eventually (year or so ) the ps3 might overtake the xbox or get really close.

I think his sales are a little high but xbox does have alot to offer but its all up to the consumers



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

you know thibje. In the past, I'd taken a quick glance at this thread, saw a whole ton of charts and numbers and decided to take a pass. Well I'm glad I finally gave it a chance, because you've got a pretty awesome thread. I look forward to future updates.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

360 in NA is going to be a good month for my prediction within 10% accuracy due the price drop , madden and bioshock , (eventually Blue Dragon).
What happened to the sales of the darkness? They dropped like hell!

360 will be alright, nowhere near the Wii and to an extent the PS3 but it'll survive...

I have a question is it better with boxarts?
Should I add some graphs to improve this thread?

Update with boxshots.
Tonight numbers and graphs.

Very good thread, keep it up :)

Graphs would be cool, don't really care about more boxshots.
