This is funny, I was thinking of starting a thread about how the 360 is really starting to pick up momentum.
I don't know about the Europe numbers(which other people are debunking anyways), but despite horrifically smaller launch numbers in NA, the 360 overtook the xbox this december. It posted some good January numbers and will do so again in February. Partly because recent games like Gears of War, Lost Planet and Crackdown.
Sure Japan is a waste land, but if you compare it to the Xbox, you'll see that it's sold a lot more software, and has been posting much higher weekly numbers for some time now, meaning that it will probably overtake the xbox in the next 2 or 3 months.
So with an install base of 10 million, Mass Effect, Fable 2, Forza 2, Halo 3, GTA and many other system selling games on the way, increased sales over it's predecessor and it's major competetor more expensive and in less homes, I'm actually quite possitive about the box of X
I love seeing "games like Gears of War, Lost Planet, and Crackdown" because those are the same game to me. It'll be interesting when mass effect and fable 2 come out, but don't count GTA in a "system seller" for just the 360, of course. As for Halo 3...I wouldn't be too surprised if it didn't sell a LOT of systems because everyone that bought a 360 was just waiting for halo 3 to come out. We'll see
