Heres the main reasons why

- anylsts expect a price reductio $199/299 (making the package that casuals as many people would call them, the same people who are buying the wii now would buy)

- Halo 3

- exclusive games: mass effect, bioshock, blue dragon, lost odyssey, etc. (this is not and etc because theres none others, there truly is plenty)

- cheapest console with multiplatform games

- xbl free due to sponsership by various companies

read the first paragraph

- MS said so, they have never been wrong with it before, they said 10 mil first year, 1 million for the first half of the year (that was weird sounding at the time)

Ha, and you listen to analyst!! HAHA! Ok, first off....xbox live (although everybody will like it to be....) will never be free. My cousin develped games for them, and they like their money. Trust me. Also, yeah, Halo 3....it may sell some systems. But a lot of people who have PC's really dislike the game. And, it isn't having great pre-reviews from the beta....

And, I don't care about most of that stuff, because 3 of my 360's have no worked!

"Educated_Gamer's blog Just kidding, XBL isnt free

Just kidding, XBL isnt free, just wondering how many people actually click links

---and dont post i the thread telling everyone about this, just show a wink in the post. that goes for you to mods- this isnt bad, it actually a good thing. In system wars you can have a thread with a faulty link and everyone will believe what you say"

The 360's sales aren't going to skyrocket until a price drop and I don't see that happening until Sony drops the price for the PS3.

errr no they said they would sell over 10 mill in one year they sold about 9-7 mill in one year and its been 1 year and 7 months since 360 release.... 360 was released November 2005 and sold about 7 to 9 mill around 1 years they manged to sell 100 mill and over by holiday season 06... which means its been over an year....

All of those you listed dont include Walmart sales- those make up a huge percentage. All of those are from stores sending in their data- walmart doesnt have to

My 360 can play any 360 game and works perfectly with no errors. How is that not worth $400?

360s breaking is an exaggeration. Worse than how badly PDZ is underated hear (that game is easily a 8.6 game)

360 has a sterile image and not that much market appeal. it will never be a big seller imo.

Walmart is figured into the numbers they release. it may not be exact numbers from Walmart but these are Neutral 3rd party tracking firms doing the work. When Microsoft Announced 10 million shipped they had barely reached 8 million Sold.

Ooops wasn't keeping up, please link me to your source that states the xbox360 is still under 10 million even though by the way it's selling monthly in the US ALONE, it would have surpassed that number already, lest we forget Gears of War sold about 3.2 million xbox360s in 2 months.

Yeah, 360's sales are bound to GO UP someday, I mean, eventually, as a Price drop does that. Skyrocket though? Naw, that's a bit premature, they need far more GENERAL TITLES to be able to do that. AAA PlatformerS (That's right fanboys, PLURAL), as well as AAA RPGS, etc. EIther way, we'll see.

Blah blah blaggedy blah. Do you know how many people there are who used to run around and blabber about their 360's working fine? Several, that's how many.

And why do you think it is an exaggeration exactly? Everything points towards the exact opposite, so to speak.

Casuals dont really care for 'exclusives' since most casuals dont even know what that is.
