i think they are riding on to much for natal.

what they need to do is get great games on there system like sony is doing.

liberty city stories is the only 360 game i have bought new all year.

2009 was the worst year for the 360 because 1) it didnt do as well as it had been doing previously 2) they ended up with red on their budget books,
the 360 didnt do crappy in 2009 just crappy compared to its previous years
i watched the video on the sony swagger link about uncharted mastering the cell, and all i have to say is that the 360 is gonna have to step it up, the technical landmark set by that game was bigger than i thought with the blended motion and the ability to draw 1.2 million triangles per frame and approx 40 million a second is a large feat.

so it is not their worst year for the hardware.

Software:

Games sold so far in 2009:
82.02 million

Games sold in 2008:
108.17 million

Games sold in 2007:
60.56 million

Games sold in 2006:
24.5 million

So with December still to come for this year, the Xbox360 might end up selling the most software ever. Definately not the worst year for the Xbox 360.

And it did not end up in the red. The EDD made a profit since 2008 (even with the zune losses included). The last 3 moths had a <300 million profit.

^^^ You sir, kick ass.



Statix on 01 December 2009

Well, you also must take into consideration that the 360 is selling at the most dirt-cheap, value-price point ever... yet that still hasn't helped it increase its sales over last year (or bring it up over its competitors). What that really indicates is that hardware sales are slowing down.

Increased software sales are just a result of the cumulative install base growing. After all, you don't expect it to shrink, do you?

Understatement of the year.

I disagree with the second part, they have had a lot of good games this year.

I have to agree, there have been some good games, but I think a lot is riding on Natal as well. That may not be bad, if it takes off, it CAN (not saying it will) propel them beyond Sony's reach. Maybe, we'll have to wait and see. If it fails, hope they have a back-up plan.

Microsoft is going to explode with Natal. They're going to make sure that Natal is very successful, this could be the turning point in sales.

O.o

Sales this year will end up between 9 - 10 mill. It's second best year for Sales. Probably for profit to.

Halo ODST, Halo Wars, Left 4 Dead 2, Forza Motorsport 3 and GTAIV: Liberty City Stories are all awesome games.

I love that sig Seece!
