anyone can say they'll sell 10million but.. well 'nough said
I can't tell if they're not changing their predictions so they don't look bad, or just because they don't need to. Microsoft isn't stupid, and they know more about this than anyone on this site, but we'll see. I can kind of see how they can sell 5 million more by Christmas, but there would have to be a big rush. Otherwise I don't think it's gonna happen. But if they're confident they can, well, we'll see what happens.
Then again, does Microsoft really care whether they win or not? This is a company with near-unlimited funding, what's a couple hundred millions to them? Eventually they get most of it back anyway through software sales and being able to make the console cheaper and cheaper as the years go by. And if they keep taking market share at the rate they are taking it with each new console, they will inevitably win at some point.
Speaking of software, 4.6 games per console is very impressive! Does anybody know the record?
Umm, is that 4.6 games ratio per console including the cheap XBLA games? If so, it's kinda innacurate.....
Hmm will I guess I help it get that high I suppose. When I bought my 360 I got 9 games for it. Mm-hmm but I saved just the same amount for the wii! So when it comes out so I guess I'll be getting 14 or so ^^
The only way they will sell 10 million by the time holidays come around is if they drop the price.
Since thats not gonna happen, they might ship 10 million units, but selling them is totally different.
