2010 could the best sales year for the XBox 360 with Halo:Reach + Fable 3 + Alan Wake + Mass Effect 2 + Natal + more price cuts. 12 million sales in 2010 may be possible for the 360 eclipsing the 2008 peak XVBox 360 sales year of 11 million. Time will reveal all.
The 360 is guaranteed to sell around 10 million consoles in 2010 which will be equal to the sales tally of 2009.

Wanna back that up with figures or just wave around numbers you pull out of your ass?

i agree with puffy. 360 will not sell 10 million consoles year...not a hope.The "system seller" which is the halo franchise released halo odst last year which only sold 4.36 million copies.From what i remember it didnt push alot of hardware sales. How is Halo reach and the other above named games gonna shit 10 bloody million consoles...are you mad???

I'm not sure than Sony and Nintendo actually need to do anything to counter Microsoft.

Natal is quite capable of crashing and burning all on its own.

*(reaches for fireproof helmet)*

haha i agree! just another failed peripheral. The only peripheral ever to succeed in any generation was the wii balance bored. everthing else = epic fail.

Nothing is "guaranteed" in this world. Notice how the Wii is crawling towards market saturation in certain parts of the world. Sooner or later, the same thing is going to happen to the XBox in NA and to the PS3 in Japan, their strongest markets. All three consoles are probably close to or even past their "peak sales year" so don't expect to see rising sales numbers for any console in the future.



The vitality sensor would bring "la methode cauet" on Wii.I fear the crappy stuff coming with this but the line-up seems to be awesome.



its going too be closer then ever next year IMO

Nintendo - New Zelda - New Mario - Vitality Sensor - New Wii $150-$129 Price? New DS?

Sony - GEM- GT5-GOW3-New PS3 $279-$249 Price (yes it is Possible)? PSP2 ? KH3 ? Agent ? FFV13? Resistance 3 ?!

Microsoft - NATAL - Fable 3 - Halo Reach - GOW3?! - New Arcade Price $150? New Elite Price $250-$200 ? Xbox360Natal bundle Price $250-$300 ?

2010 (i still want to say NEXT YEAR when i think 2010 ) has a LOT of potential , but we still don't really know Much on Sony - Nintendo's Part .



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

Around the Network

The vitality sensor will set fourth and unleash the 7 plagues on gaming!!!



Gaming make me feel GOOD!

hum, I also dont expect REACH or Fable3 to really push hardware
also, I believe Natal is really the special weapon

so at the end, you mix everything and you get :

Halo+Natal = system seller
fable+Natal = system seller



Time to Work !

I stand by what I said the 360 will sell 10 million in 2010 if you believe the PS3 will sell 12 million in 2010.

I put 12 million 360s in 2010 as my most optimistic sales prediction I just made that number up. I have seen a fair few of those 14 or 15 million PS3s will be sold in 2010 sales predictions and no body says much about those predictions.

360 price cuts for 2010 $149 or $99 Arcade XBox 360 in 2010 or $249 or $199 Elite XBox 360s combined with Halo:Reach and Natal will not sell any 360s at all? Yeah right.

I am hoping 2010 could be the best sales year for the 360 yet.

you don't know ninty that much? how do ya mean by that? i mean everyone knows nintendo lol


i m sorry : I mean it will be hard for me to point out what are the games coming in 2010 and preciely what are the games worth waiting

also, to say the truth, Ninty loves to wait a lot before revealing their game AT THE VERY last moment (3 month before release) =/= Sony



Time to Work !
