First of all, I wish you all a happy new year and apologize for the recent lack in updates. 2007 will be a great year for videogames. By late summer or autumn, we will see a clear winner emerging from the console war. Consequently, 2007 will be a great year for ´Wii: Definitive Speculation´. But now, let us turn to the topic at hand.
Microsoft may have missed its shipping target of ten million units by the end of the year. Videogame Charts reports an estimated 7,9 million units sold, while NexGen Wars estimates just less than 9,4 million.
Microsoft expected to have shipped ten million Xbox360 consoles by today, including ´units in transit, units sitting in store inventories and machines sold to consumers,´ as News.com specifies.
While the latter figure of 9,4 million units seems to suggest that more than ten million units have shipped, after all, the former figure of 7,9 million does not. I seriously doubt that more than two million consoles are in transit or waiting on store shelves.

arnt these figures below the dreamcast ...i mean over a year the x360 has been avalable and it carnt break 10 million sold let alone shipped ds will be at that figure much qicker and at profit, it looks like the wii is set to DS all competition microsoft lournched to early and still suffer from production and build qoality issues....
ReplyDeletea DS AND wii combo seems the perfect gaming set up
andreas, I hope you got my SMS ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't use nexgenwars.com anymore due to their lack of updating despite official numbers being given.
ReplyDeleteAh well
so wii has sold about 1/2 as many consoles as the xbox360 ALREADY? that's fucking awesome. suck it, sony.
ReplyDeletealso in the news: vf5 and tekken6 rumored to get xbox ports...
if i were microsoft, i would be offering lots and lots of money to developers for "dibs" on their ps3 "exclusives". this includes square/ff13 and konami/mgs4. those are literally the only two games on top of tekken6 that millions of people are holding out for to get a ps3.
also: cheers to dragon warrior (quest, whatever.) 9 coming as an exclusive to DS. jeers to squareenix for taking out the turn-based combat. it breaks my heart.
-"superfan" tactics.
Happy new year too!!!
