Bodhesatva, you're overplaying how well the 360 has done in the States. Top selling consoles can easily do 8 or 9 million a year. 360 can do N64 levels in America, but probably not much above, unless something changes.

And 320K April last year sounds impressive, but supply was probably only just normalizing at that point after the botched launched. I don't remember exactly, but they might have still been delivering pre-order systems at that time. Sales looked like they might accelerate past XBox levels, but now it appears they merely "caught up" to XBox levels after the vastly inferior launch, and now normal sales at this price look to be pretty low. It wasn't even really close to 200K for April. Totally unimpressive, IMO.

Edit: Removed numbers I think were wrong.
