Forums - Microsoft - Can the Xbox 360 sell > 13M consoles for 2009 and crack 40M before 2010?

I don't see why they couldn't. Let's take a look at the holiday lineup referesher shall we?

Exclusives
Sept: Halo ODST
1 vs 100 out of beta
Oct: MagnaCarta 2
Dragon Age Origins
Splinter Cell Convictions
Forza 3
Crackdown 2 (TBD?)
Nov: Left 4 Dead 2
Perfect Dark remake (XBLA)


Less we forget great multi platform games like Modern Warfare 2 on the "cheaper" system. If they were to bundle the system with Halo Wars or maybe Banjo? Pinata 2? Could sell gang busters.

MS, while not having the best looking holiday line up in terms of exclusives, still has the best overall lineup out of the consoles remaining for the year and Is still the cheapest system. That's quite enough reason for someone to grab one at this point. Plus with the shitty economy parents would rather buy the cheaper system for their kids.



It's just that simple.

According to stickball and DmeisterJ, the 360 can't outsell ANY of it's past years, let alone this one. personally, I think its very possible.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

I made a mistake. Dragon Age Origins is coming out for the PS3 as well according to Gamestop.

Is that an MMO?

This thread isnt really showing any love for microsoft as much as looking at the hard numbers.  You could take lessons from Squilliam on how to make a thread without bias, as I haven't seen a single thread from you that isn't foaming from the mouth with love for Sony.

Good call. Was about to say something similar.


OT: I think it has a chance, but it'll depend on how big certain games are (namely ODST and Forza 3).

There's bound to be people that haven't quite latched onto the 360 yet that are Halo fans, because of the price. Bundling Halo 3 and ODST together would do wonders at the same or lower price than the console would have been by itself.

Also it'll depend on whether we see another price drop.

WRPG by Bioware set in the medievil setting. Bioware does not screw around with RPGs, you guys should be getting a great RPG.

Yes i think that Ms can do it.

I think its very unlikely.  I can see 11-12 million consoles sold this year though...
