Not a great quarter for X360, still much better than the 2005-2008 rates though. PS3 did 1.03m in Q1 2011, and 4.51m in all of 2011 even with a price cut. Wii did 1.06m in Q1 2011 and did 4.55m in all of 2011 even with a price cut.

This generation Q1 is typically 1/5 to 2/9 of total hardware sales per year, with a couple exceptions for systems with irregular supply like Wii in 2007 / 2008

Not a great quarter?  really?  best console on the market for this quarter in its 7th year? are you for real?  I rralise you have some kind of aversion to the 360 but this is getting too obvious.

can you name me the consoles that have achieved a performance as good as this in their 7th year?  or a console that has achieved its second best 1st quarter in its 7th year (I'm saying its a tie with FY2010, cos it effectively is)

Just ignore him, he thought Wii was gonna do 2.5m more than 360 last year in the US, clearly knows nothing.

Suggesting 360 will do 4.5 because of what PS3 and Wii did in Q1 last year is stupid, 360 hasn't had a cut in years.
