I was surprised that X360 sold less last year than the previous year especially since Halo 3 came out. And Halo 3 was better than gears imo. THe only game im anxious for the X360 this year is Ninja Gaiden adn RE5. But since RE5 is also on PS3, I don't know if if MS is capable of selling more units.

What do you think?

It'll be hard to imagine more sold in '08 than '07.

If you consider sales "having more 360 s leaving the factory" it probably will but if you mean "people will actually be buying more and not simply exchanging them because of the RROD" probably not. However just because its sales drop does not mean the PS3 will take over so we should wait and see which of the 2 wins. Even though we all know chances of beating the Wii's sale are way to slim for both the PS3 and the 360.

Not likely. The Xbox360 games this year might be good, but other than another Halo won't move systems much. Maybe a huge price drop?

I don't see anyway for X360 to beat last years sales. I was shocked with the big games X360 had that sales were down 18% this year from last year especially like you said with Halo. Last year X360 had some big hitters, this year not so much. I really don't see anyway possible for X360 to sell more without a substantial price drop. I think the X360 needs to be priced under the Wii to really see a big uptick in units sold. And both Sony and MS need to get the message out about the Wii, because in my eyes the X360 and PS3 both totally outclass it in every possible way.

no, there are no big games for the 360 theres nothing that will draw people to the 360. sure they'll be a price drop (maybe) but not enough to outsell its sales from last year. If ms gets ww support then yes it can outsell 07. but i doubt it can get ww sales.

I was surprised too. That 360 in its 2nd sold less than in its 1st yr. Even with Halo3 and ME launch in their 2nd yr. Who know what will happen in 3rd yr. I will wait and see. it will be interesting though. Just Wait.

I expect a slight decline in the number of units sold. Halo Wars and possibly Gears of War 2 will help sales but not as much as some of the big hitters of last year.

I think it will. The biggest problem with last year is that everything depended on Halo 3, while earlier in the year there wasn't as much going on. I think 08' will be much different. We'll start seeing games throughout the whole year. Oh and there's a good chance that there will be a price drop.

Well it's funny how the decline worked. It wasn't that it didn't sell in America, it sold just as much or a little more (I think, don't have data in front of me). Instead, what saw a sharp decline was its overseas sales, which is gonna be a huge factor in terms of console sales these next few years.

MS is in an interesting positions, the console in its class (PS3) is beating it WW. Not only that, its beating it considering that 3 of last years biggest games were 360 exclusives. Just imagine what can happen after this year, when the PS3 will be receiving some major games throughout the year.

A price drop to about $199 would have me sold and others.

Other than that probably not.

I dont know. Even if they had better games in 07, more people will be able to go next gen this year then in 07. So no one can really tell.

Unless it hits $200 probably less. 360's prime time was 2007. Now the Wii is dominating and PS3 is beginning to take off.

Sure,MS will drop the 360 price to 300$ and the core to 250$ just before GTA IV release and the sales will be huge Also there are some Japanese games coming to the 360 will probably help the 360 in Japan.

I have no clue what effect GTAIV will have on things. I don't know what effect Gears of War 2 will have but I assume it's going to be out before Christmas. Lots of questions and no good answers. :(

Both the PS3 and the 360 are STILL priced higher than what consoles DEBUTED at last gen. 80% of PS2 sales came after the price drop to 200 bucks and under. When these machines hit close to that pricepoint they too will sell much better. If the premium gets to 250 bucks or less, it WILL sell better. There are X number of people who will pay 400 bucks for a games console, X number of people who will wait till 300, X that will wait till 200 and so on. The number of people who will pay the prices they're asking for these machines is getting saturated.

If Microsoft doesn't fix that RRoD, the 360 will stop selling all together.
