I don't think they can quite do it, but there is some evidence Microsoft has been shipping much larger allocations lately.

I would have guessed 24m by the end of November but if they know that say, 360 will start selling 25k in Japan because of Last Remnant, and sees a similar increase in Europe, who knows.

Best post FTW!!!

But i dont think there gonna reach 25 mill by end of november.

By saying that, they would have to sell 700+K per week for the following 3 weeks! I doubt it's possible.

Fair enough, maybe I misunderstood (cause if it's shipped "install base" is misleading), but I can't change the title anyways.

Wow! If the "slim" version comes in 2009 with price cut, than the sales in 2009 are gonna be big!

He never said sold through to customer in that article.  There was an indirect quote that used the word "global installed base" -- we don't know if he said those words or, even if he said them, whether they'd be accurate.

Most likely, he said, "25 million units sold" which means "25 million units shipped to retailers."

There's nothing about selling to people in that article.  Their 'customers' are stores.

@kylohk

black friday will help it alot

but they would require almost 1.5 Million sold on Black Friday to offset losses from other weeks.

unless VG Cartz is heavily UNDERTRACKING Xbox 360....they mean shipped

if not....she's just full of it.

Wanna change the title? It seems I was wrong about sold through.

There's no problem in that at all....we've all made that mistake many times :)

If she meant shipped....then that will definetely be achieved anyway.
