The non-Halo three million plus seller. The 360 should be proud

Without question, Microsoft's decision to get the 360 to market early and their hard work getting 3rd parties on board have assured that it will outperform its predecessor by a substantial margin. Breaking out of the NA market is definately the next long-term goal for the platform, but the 360 can only really set the stage for the next Xbox in that regard.

In the short-term, the next test for 360 will be GTA4. There's no doubt that it will sell excellently, but the question is whether it will move more units than the PS3 release. And perhaps more importantly, will it sell more hardware than the PS3 release? If GTA4 is a system seller for PS3, but doesn't push people to buy 360s in similar numbers, it could be a sign that 360 is close to market saturation.

 While I still think the game will both sell more and sell more systems on the 360 than the Ps3 world wide, it is starting to look like the PS3 version will do significantly better in Europe. I expect the 360 to maintain current levels in Europe for the most part, with major games doing more to keep it buoyant than elevate it's sales.

But in NA... the 360 is about to usurp the PS3 as the Grand theft king.
