Xbox 360 hits 10 million sold in U.S.
CNET is reporting that Microsoft has sold 10 million XBOX 360 units in the U.S.Microsoft said on Wednesday that its Xbox 360 has become the first
next-generation video game console to hit 10 million units sold in the
United States.
Further, said Aaron Greenberg, director of product management
for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, that milestone has historically been
reached by the eventual best-seller of each previous console
generation, a fact that Microsoft will certainly be using to bolster
suggestions that the Xbox 360 will eventually prevail sales-wise over
Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3.
Of course, Sony has been the winner of the two previous
generations, with the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 far
outselling the competition.
In the U.S., according to NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier--as
of the end of March, Microsoft's rivals, Nintendo, and Sony had sold
8.8 million Wiis and 4.1 million PlayStation 3's in the United States,
respectively.
