The Xbox 360 sales as of today are virtually identical to the sales of the first Xbox. |
Actually, your numbers are wrong.
The Xbox stopped being manufactured on 6-2005, but did not stop selling untill well after that. Yet you track sales as if they end on 6-2005, inflating Xbox numbers.
On the other end, you use Xbox 360 sold to consumer numbers as of last month. Which causes the discrepancy - Your arguing sold to consumers numbers vs. sold to retailers, which is a huge problem for your faulty tracking.
What happens if you track Xbox vs. Xbox 360 sales to consumers, using the 19.5m units sold to consumers, in the same time period versus the Xbox? We get much more accurate numbers to compare each system, at around Week 138:
Xbox 360: 19,720,000 Units Sold
Xbox: 15,169,000 Units Sold
This means the Xbox 360, during the same time frame has actually sold 29% more units to consumers than the Xbox has. A much larger margin than the 10% that you cited. You should check your numbers in proper context before you decide to post improper numbers.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
