Forums - Sales Discussion - MS says 19 million 360

Microsoft has revealed that global sales of Xbox 360 have trundled past 19 million units mark.

Its momentum has grown steadily since the start of the year; Microsoft reported over 17 million sales in January and 18 million in February.

The figures come off the back of a successful third-quarter for Microsoft, which saw revenue from the Entertainment division perk up by 68 per cent.

The platform holder attributed this to demand for Xbox 360 consoles, and pointed to removing component shortages and delays in product delivery as a goal for the future.

Despite strong Entertainment sales, its Windows software dipped 24 per cent and earnings from online advertising came in at the low end of projections.

Observers also note that the Microsoft offer to buy Yahoo for USD 44.6 billion has had a negative affect on share prices.

Yesterday Nintendo revealed that its Wii console has now sold nearly 25 million units around the world.

 I think ioi doesn't update them anymore because at least 1 of the 3 don't provide a breakdown on reagions. Nintendo does for their systems, but I don't know about Microsoft or Sony.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

 So VGC over tracked 360 by 500k for the quarter. It's impossible the 360 has less consoles in the retails channel than the Wii.

 There must be at least 1.2m 360s in the retails channel... I bet ioi is working on the numbers and we will soon see 360 adjusted down anywhere betwee 300k and 600k.

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

1 million every month. I suppose 360 to sell over 12 millions this year

Well the 360 was having supply issues early in the year

Anyways , 19 million is a god number for the 360 ... I wonder when it will reach 20 million to costumers  :)
