Your September/October numbers for America are too high.

Your November/December numbers for America are *way* too high. I'd put them at 750k/1100k respectively.

I'll be surprised if the 360 reaches 15 million this year.

 Yes, I might be wrong but you must know I made this prediction 3,5 months ago so I couldn't predict a price drop / halo 3 , Mass Effect launch ...

True -- the price drop was a little low and Halo 3 didn't bump sales as much as many expected (it barely outsold the Wii this last week).

True and I don't want to change my prediction every week because it wouldn't be a prediction anymore. But i think ioi might have under-tracked the NA sales. 25k or so but he did a very good job for the rest.
But the fact is I even didn't knew release dates from certain games ; Gta IV skipped 'till next year. I added the games later but my prediction for the Hardware is almost the same as in june. 
That's the reason my prediction is too low for Others but ioi under-tracked the 360 for a while because he didn't had reliable sources he adjusted those numbers at the end of july I think.
 
I'm from Belgium and english isn't my primary language or 2nd-ary because that's french so if there are mistakes in my text don't hesitate to tell it.

next week pred.
NA = 97K
O = 52k
J = 3,5 k
total = 152,5k



the 360 will sell 15 to 16 million by the end of the year no problem , halo 3 and mass effect will help the 360 to sell 2 million in american over the holidays and 1 miilion in the rest of the world



I agree with you but no in october and november. I think it will sell 350k in october and 600k to 700k in november.



End of 2011 (made 02/01/11) 
Wii: 99.453 m
Xbox 360: 67.837 m 
Ps 3: 60.726 m

Best Games/Serie of the Generation

only problem i see is possibly too high for total numbers at the end of the year, a bit to high, but is def possible

your going to be spot on almost in october long as things dont go down to far



                 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   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

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.

i think the xbox could sell 17 million by jan 1st if they cut the  price again, if it the premium went down to £199     ($400) in the uk i think the xbox could sell better than the ps3 in the uk, and if u included halo3 and mass effect in the bundle it would fly of the shelfs..... microsoft needs to do something like this caz the uk is 360 second biggets market and the 3rd biggest game market in the world so if they fail here the xbox will never beat the ps3 in this generation
