Only if they can get a bunch of early adopters of the 360 to buy the Zephyr model.

Predictions mean nothing, Sony predicted they'd have 6 million PS3's shipped worldwide by March 2007 and look how well that's going.

That seems quite likely, although I think Wii will beat 360 to the 20 million mark!

The 360 will only be able to have sold 12 million by June of this year. Do you honestly believe Microsoft can sell 8 million in 6 months?

I think that if the price drops $100 it will readh 15-17M by the end of Q4. I do believe that the wii will have sold 10-12M by the end of this year. Price will drive sells for the wii and if the price drops for the 360 then price+ large catalog will drive it as well.

They shipped out 4 million already to get ready for the European launch , and they might try and ship another 2 million by the end of March. Seems very possible because Sony's SHIPPED means anything shipped out of the factories which means they could be anywhere (in warehouses or on boats or trucks).

isn't the 360 only just reaching or only just passing the 10 million mark in sales?

Do you really see it selling more than 10 million in 9 months? Especially adding to the fact they predict having 12 million by june leading to 8 million sales in 6 months?

This looks like another "we will sell 10 million in one year / be 10 million ahead of competition"

It is confirmed for 2007 (likely november) I don't see how 3 1/2 years of development is rushing it though.

Maybe but I think it will only happen if they have a price drop first, and even then its still maybe.  I think a lot of the casual market seems to be turned away from the name and image of Microsoft, the 360 seems to be more of a hardcore gamers choice much like its predecessor.

They're not. That's why they're releasing it Q4 2007, instead of Q4 2006. . .

The forecast is banking on Halo 3 and GTA4, I think Microsoft will do it.

Big deal.
PS3 will probably have sold 11 million in it's first year, and 27 Million in it's second year.

Eh ? They shipped 10 million without any price drop. This year there are some big games and they could drop the price anytime now...

I agree with him, not out of bias, but, it's just a hunch. The 360 will break all kinds of records in the near future.
