technically.. they won't, because they have already passed 365 days on the market.. the release was november 22nd, so the due date is passed. i hope by january 1st, they will have sold 10,000,000 :D

I like how they try to make it sound like they've eventually sold 10 million in a year by using "in the first year or so". They hit 7million at around a year and are almost at 8 million. The article says 12-16 months, which will probably be spun into, "We sold 10 million X-Box consoles after just a year of being released," even if it comes closer 16 months, which is more than "over a year or so."

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the close to 8 million figure is how many MS has shipped, not sold? Dunno if thats true though.

Taking it as true, and so the real amount sold is around 6 million, then no, I don't think MS will hit 10 mil by the end of the year.

If that isn't true though, and 8 mil have been sold, then yes, they will sell 10 mil IMO

MS had sold 5 million at the end of June this year, if I recall. They can certainly be up to 8 million in the 5 months since then.

Nobody knows if the 360 can make the 10 million mark.

This poll only shows how many 360 fanboys and ps3 fanboys are in this forum :D

Really? I thought I was basing my opinion on how it's been selling the past few days.

WOW, thanks for telling me I'm a fanboy for looking at statistics....***

Isn't it fun when you throw bull**** remarks around? :D

I think they may come close but not hit 10 mil exactly. Although they do have a massive pile at my local Future Shop and they seem to be selling ...

well MS didnt say in the first year or so. the person that made the link named it that, so people want to read it. how can you say they will use it like that, they said they plan on selling 10 million by 12-16 months witch they will.

its not a set date, thats why MS plan is to sell 10 million 12-16 months. the link of the story title is MS wants to sell 10 million xbox 360's in a year or so.

and like i said, from the looks of it, MS is selling around 100,000 consoles a day.

Now for the people who cant add....there are 31 days in december, we are on the 3rd day, and it has barely begun

28 days x 85,000 = 2.38 million consoles

If this trend continues, they will make it to 10 million, possibly 11, depending on how well christmas sales push it.

sorry dude but you got all that wrong... the ones who always talk about "shipped units" is Sony, we'd never put out the actual amount of units shipped only the units sold. but if you want to know about shipped units up to date I can tell you that just a few weeks ago we shipped the unit number 10.000.000 out of the factories and is on its way to someone's desk at Microsoft as it's a collectors edition unit to commemorate that milestone. :happy: :yes:

hope that makes you happy... :laugh: :rofl: :p

:laugh: - as I said, I didn't know if that was true or not - just something I read.

I know its a bit OT, but does any know how many PS2's sony had sold by the time the original xbox was released?

There are some cases that statistics are not needed to see if someone is a fanboy or not.

when they say sold it means out of MS's door, paid for by retailers. there's really no way of knowing howm any active users are out there. Sony claims to have sold 110 million PS2's or something, there could be only sixty mill users for all we know. heck i bought two, one US release day, one slim five years later...don't use either right now.

and i think moms getting 360's for their kids is a bad trend...i bought the machine coz i figured it is the mature gamer's platform. was playing COD3 online and it was all a bunch of f'ing squeaky-voiced children. if this keeps up i'm bailing out, let me tell you that!

the ass-handover isn't what's getting to me, used to that in so many games i find it oddly pleasurable. it's feeling like a pedophile by hanging out with pre-teen monsters that's bothersome. plus it means less M rated games, more censorship, and added lameness in the long-run.

PS: i can just look at Kushan's avatar all day.

Odd. I was told a couple weeks back that not caring about XBL and not wanting to play with a bunch of kids just showed my ignorance and fanboyism.
