Good old gaming journalists... I see he has used Wiki as his source. Now if only he had looked at a proper source... i.e. Media Create, he would see that the sales of the original xbox aren't anywhere near 2m.

Media create says it sold as follows:

2002 327,700
2003 96,900
2004 35,300
2005 13,200

so Xbox total sales are 473,100 , which is roughly inline with what the VGC numbers used to be here.

So actually the xbox install base in Japan has improved 300% gen over gen. Still a very low number but its upwards by a significant amount and not down by a significant amount like this crappy "journalist" thinks.



This is from IGN. And we all know that it doesn't get better than that. Now that doesn't mean that IGN is good, just that the rest are MUCH worse. This is after all, gaming journalism we are talking about here.
