I think microsoft might sell more this holiday compared to last holiday in npd

I don't think the 360 has any juice left to pull those kinds of numbers.

But I'm no analyst, so what do I know. Or care. :P

mmmwksil

Well I think it def has juice ForzaGearsFace

Not enough for another 3 million units by December's end.

Why would people buy an empty console like the 360?

sorry. im bored. lol

Remember last years numbers for dec and nov npd? Huge but I think the 360 could post around 1.4 again in nov and do 2 million to 2.5 in December as it will dent more into the casual market or wii like buyers from previous years. Thoughts ForzaGearsFace

The PS3 lets you do that and at least it has games.

solid argument you got there.

next asinine statement, commence.

Its down to a low price point were most parents would be willing to buy it for there kid if they ask for one.

I think i saw they were going to be sold for like 99 on black friaday.

They should sell well

I think it'sa possibility. 360 has a lot of life left in it and I can definitely see it selling a lot of units again.

They just had the best October sales ever for the 360 with a 20% increase over last year October sales so why would anyone think that it isn't possible ?

Think what would happen if they did a price cut for the first time in 3 years !

With Gears 3, Halo CE and Forza 4 around, i think they will, also they are getting Mass Effecrt 3 Kinect and Witcher 2 soon after holiday

2012 holiday will be even better, with all of Halo, Alan Wake, Fable, Panzer Dragoon, Ryse etc

Isn't the R2D2 edition (unveiled at Comic Con) being released this holiday season? That kind of unique design for such a huge franchise is going to be a huge seller.

I'm considering buying one myself to go with my PC.

The 360 is having one of its best years in NA, they will most likely break 3 million in U.S. alone. That is not a bold predicion, more like common sense.

Gimped $199 360? Screw that! for $50 more I would pick up a PS3. More HDD space, No Live fees, Blu-ray player, Built in rechargable controller. C'mon MS! AA batteries for your remotes? Then I have to buy a play and charge kit for 20 bucks just so I dont have to buy batteries?

Yah, I definitely wouldn't get one of the arcade 360s that's for sure, but I'd get one of the $300 ones. Throughout the holidays they'll have two games bundled with it, plus you get a wireless controller and a 250gb hdd.

Much better deal than the 4gb console. I always wish I knew "why 4gb?"...You can't do much at all with that. At least give 20gb or so, so the people who buy one can go shop and give more money to you, MS! 4gb is not enough for a library of XBLA titles.

I don't think so. Last year Kinect was bringing the momentum. Obviously we'll see a boost in sales and obviously its going to sell more than the PS3 because its America, but I don't think that they'll go over last years numbers. They don't have any momentum rolling. A Combat Evolved remake isn't going to pump more sales than Kinect.

Say what? Last month was their best month for October, they have momentum...

i wish the thing would quit selling so they had more pressure to launch the nextbox in 2012.

Thoughts ForzaGearsFace

who cares?

You must be a stock holder or something?

Ok, that's good to know.

This is indeed a system seller, but i think was delayed with the game for early 2012

I am not 100% sure though

I want to buy one of those BTW

It is sad that the Skyrim spacial 360 will not be released to the public though

He was a chronic liar and everyone knew it.

I mean he would have a super awesome PC that he uses for gaming all the time, but then makes threads saying PC gaming is terrible and is a waste of money. His imaginary PS3 was pretty imaginary.

The fact that he considers kinect success as his success. Kinect is selling well, therefore I am successful in life!

Oh and those stories... those insane and ridiculous stories. He has daughters, fiances, friends who talk about kinect in olive garden, and his super high paying job. Yet he still had the maturity level of a 7yo

Smart guy.

Highly doubt the 360 will sell as good as last holiday season. The PS3 is a much better value this holiday with a much better library of games this year as well.djsifer01
