Analyst Sees 12 Million 360s by Year End

Next Generation has a piece predicting the 360's performance for 2006. An analyst with Amtech Research expects 12 Million 360s sold worldwide by the end of the year. From the article: "He continued, saying that he is no longer concerned with any potential adverse effects that an Xbox 360 shortage would have on publishers' March-quarter results. Amtech and McNealy also conducted a survey involving 125 retailers last week. Twenty-six of them had Xbox 360 units in stock, although all but five of them only had the non-hard drive Core units. Stores that did have the $400 Premium Packs late last week sold out of units very quickly."

My research..

I decided to employ my own preferred research method, which I feel comparable to the one employed in TFA on every level.

The icosahedron came up "Reply hazy, ask again later."

When many analysts agree, then they're probably on to something.

I always thought it was "when many analysts agree, you should run for the hills because the world is ending."

Re:12 million, eh?

[Rob T Firefly]

these numbers are just pulled out of their asses.

Careful, they'll sue you for revealing trade secrets!
