Microsoft aims to sell another 30 million Xbox 360s

Speaking at a briefing with MSN Tech, Yusuf Mehdi, CVP at Microsoft IEB said: When the transition from the original Xbox to the Xbox 360 happened we moved completely to the 360. In fact, we couldnt wait to get off and on to the new version. With the 360 its a very different prospect. Were having tremendous success with the Xbox 360 and, even though weve sold almost 76 million units we believe over the next five years or so we can break 100 million units.'

Interesting. This gen more than any other I don't know why anyone is super enthusiastic for launch day consoles. I think we'll be seeing a lot of the best games on last-gen consoles for a couple years at least.

Wouldn't suprise me if it keeps selling in the US for a couple more years.
PS2 sold around 50 million units after PS3s release.
But Microsoft seriously needs to support it if they want it to keep selling, PS3 is getting tons of support, 360 is not.

I do think PS3 will pass Wii in lifetime sales, not too sure about 360, it needs more support.

So what would they consider a success in regards to Xbox One sales I wonder? 30 million 360s in five years and another 30 million Xbox Ones?R3FURBISHED

Considering the only pre-order number we have hear is from Sony stating they have 1 million+ preorders, calling this over and done with seems a little to premature.
And while the PS4 is launching in more countries, I put a shit load more stock in the larger population countries. And the only large population that is receiving just one is Russia with the PS4.

I just wish the price was right. $300 for an Xbox with a hard drive is just way too much considering the thing launched 8 years ago.

I wish it was like last gen where late into the gen you could get a PS2 and Xbox for $130 each, and a Gamecube for $80. Those were the good days :P

This Fall I bet MS lowers the price of the 360 to about $250. Next year should be around $200 for 250gb hdd. The 360 has some games this fall like Fable HD, XBLA games, etc. Next year Project Spark, Titanfall, and other exclusives.

there's no real point in getting one i'm afraid with the lack of support. The only thing you'll get on the 360 from now on will be multiplat's which you can have access to from the Ps3 or even the Wii U. Now considering choices Wii U and the Ps3 will still have support.... Wii U having more exclusive lineup for years to come (eventually  ~ ) while Ps3 has confirmed support until 2015. I don't see why anyone would get an xbox360 at this point if you haven't gotten one already.

PS4 is killing Xflop in the US and UK preorders right now. Microsoft loses those by any margin and they will get embarrassed this gen.

Still not getting the level of support the PS3 is or any where close to it.

Only the extremely poor are still clamoring for 8 year old console with bunch of old games. At least PS3 gets games like Gran Turismo 6.

Whether you paid for them or not it still came out of their stock.

The 360 has a huge backlog of games. Still the PS3 has games this fall but next year what do they have? Also don't count out MS making more games for the 360 next year. Fable HD might be the start of more exclusive games for the 360. 

[QUOTE="kingtito"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"]They are figuring nearly half of them to be replacement buys because of shoddy hardware or people wanting to replace their older crappy ones that sound like a jet engine with the newer model.

I said nothing about sales. Microsoft had already accounted for the massive failures and stocked for it.

If you PS3 goes down afte a year you have to pay a lot to get it fixed by Sony. I guess those systems came out of their stock. :|

If your first time getting an Xbox 360 is in 2013 then why would you care if the games it has are from 2005 or 2008 or 2013? The only reason you should care is if you've already played them, and you're looking for something new to play.

I'd buy a 360 myself if the price was more like $100-$150. Games like Kameo, Tales of Vesperia, Dead Rising, and Gears of War are all games I've never played, and would be brand new experiences to me. Age doesn't matter.

[QUOTE="kingtito"] It doesn't count towards total sales. Thought you knew that but you're a cow, need I say more.kingtito

I don't really have point. Just saw you were typical lemming that gone through at least 3 Xboxes and comment.

good luck with that. :roll:

http://www.oxm.co.uk/54712/microsoft-aiming-for-100-million-xbox-360s-sold-and-one-billion-next-gen-consoles/

"We believe over the next five years we can break a 100 million unit installed base," Medhi began. That's something we're shooting for, it's not a financial plan as such, it's just rough numbers if you will. To sell another 25 million, half of those will probably come from replacements, but half will come from new buyers."

Eh, that's going to be really, really tough for them.

I could see Sony doing that pretty easily with the PS3, long lifecycles are their bread-and-butter. This will be more difficult for Microsoft because the consumer that prefers their platform most likely already has a 360, or is waiting for an X1.

To whom?

LOL I underestimate lemmings love for kinect mini games.

it's probably possible over a 5 year span. but like other's said, they need to support it and the way that i see it, their support isnt very strong. only on the kinect side of things but then again that's what sells..... unfortunately.

Now I'm not gonna lie and pretend YLOD didn't exist either. I also had that problem and had to ditch my launch day ps3. This didn't happen to me until after I bought a 360s (and my first 360 was bought like 9 months before the ps3 came out). Still, I won't say that problem wasn't widespread either. However, you are ridiculous if you think YLOD was even close to being as big or as widespread of a problem as RROD in the amount of systems that were failing. That serious number is what forced MS to extend free repair dates for their system.

The PS2 got a bunch of shovelware, and sports games after the PS3 launched. Outside of a few niche Japanese games like Persona and Yakuza, God of War 2 was about the only notable exclusive the system got.

I doubt the 50 million buyers of the PS2, since the PS3's launch, all went out and got it for God of War 2, and Persona 4.

They went out and got one because they wanted to replace their old PS2s, they were cheap to game on, and obviously Sony sold them in developing markets. The PS2 was a released to Brazil in 2009.

If Microsoft sold the Xbox 360 at $100-$200 it wouldn't matter if they themselves never released a game on it again. It'll be a cheap way to get into gaming which is a huge part of the appeal after a next-gen console has launched.

Point out where I said it wasn't a big problem smart guy? I said mine got replaced 3 times and my launch model is STILL working. I also pointed out that Sony has had 3 consoles that had LOTS of problems that COST me money to repair or replace.

Again where did I say I got the same system back? Where did I say ANYTHING about the process for HOW they replace the units?

Good for you if that's what you did. I didn't because MINE still works. Doesn't really matter because almost everyone that owned a PS1, PS2 and to come extent the PS3 replaced their models at some point. It's the same with all companies, so your point is?

YOLD and bad lasers was a BIG problem. Did I say it was AS big as a problem as RROD? Difference being Sony DIDN'T pay for repairs while MS did. Sony didn't replace my PS3 for free and it broke in less than 3 years. Nike is trying to imply that the 360 total sales are inflated by the RROD issue and I'm saying it's not. In fact if MS numbers are inflated then so are Sony's, so it works both ways.
