It sold 4.4 million units last holiday. With halo around we can easily assume MS will sale 6 million. It's not over yet. GTA 4 will come march next year. I think this GTA delay has proven to be a bless for them. They will obviously sell another 2-1.5 millioninat GTA launch. So total 8 million in 6 months. ps3 may get 4-5 mil and wii also 4-5 mil. So who's the winner in the end? 360.

Long live Halo!!

" MS will sell 8 million 360 in the next 6 months"

No, you're acting like a Sony fanboy. It should be like this:

" I think MS will sell 8 million 360 in the next 6 month"

or

" IT is likely MS will sell 8 million 360 in the next 6 months"

How do you know most if not everyone who wants Halo 3 and is willing to pay $60 a year to play it online and deal with the RRODdoesn't already have a 360?

That explains the 1 million preorders

What's left for the 360 this year after Halo? Mass Effect and that's it.

I just love how 360 supporters put all their money on Halo. It's like if Halo somehow fails then the 360 fails and if Halo is a success then the 360 will be a success. Too badtwo Halos on Xbox couldnt save it even from the horrid Gamecube

Nintendo Wii and PS3 have much better Q4 2007 lineups

Wii:

Mario Galaxy

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Metroid Prime 3

PS3:

Uncharted Drakes Fortune

Ratchet & Clank TOD

Heavenly Sword

Lair

Warhawk

Haze

Unreal Tournament III

So is there any reason for Wii & PS3 owners to buy a 360 for Halo when it's obvious they already have great exclusive shoot'em ups? No, there isn't

TC pass the douchie pa da left hand side! Seriously though man, the majority of people who want Halo already have their X360s. Alot of people who wanted X360 for halo bought it as soon as gears came out, because by that point, X360 had a killer app and if they bought the X360 then it would not be wasted. Sure the sales might go up a bit, but dont expect miracles.

But it is ...

Hell M$ fiscal reports state December 06: total 360's made - 10.4 million
July 07 : total 360's made - 11.6 million

So in 6 months Microsoft only made 1.2 million consoles ... to sell world wide... which tells me 360 isn't selling as much as they would like it to be ...

Difference between M$ and Nintendo and SONY here ...
M$ reports made and shipped to warehouse the own as sold
SONY / Nintendo report what the have made and sold to retailers as sold ...

So Microsoft can get really good number - but they still can't lie so they have to eventually just take it slow for a little while ...

Nah I think it's around 11-11,5 million units sold (not shipped). It's still preatty bad, the console is only selling good in US.

You do realize this thread is going to be ownage for Cows if Halo3 fails to sale consoles right? Do you people realize Halo2 only sold 8-10 million units right? You can't honestly think people were just waiting to buy an X360 for Halo3. After all you guys keep hammering how good the software lineup has been over the past 2 years. There are better reasons to own an X360 right now that has nothing to do with Halo3.

Btw, how can GTA4 come out next March, they've been saying April 08 is the target. if they say April just add a month or two because this game is going to keep getting delayed.

If you got that number from MS, read their statements carefully. They specifcally state their numbers are shipped, not sold. I do think there should be 11 million sold but the number MS gave months ago (their year end number in July) was shipped (11.5 million) not sold.
