Some experts say it is not as good as you say. 1 thing they point out is the Xbox had really good sellling considering it was going up against the PS2 which dominated the entire market. Their reasoning (not mine by the way, these are analysts and such) is that 360 should be selling better because it was the only player in the field. I would say the ps2 is still in the field :) Yep, it sure was. But I think they were saying as the only nex-gen system on the market it should have been selling quicker cause it was first to market. This is just analysts. You can google it. "dissapointed 360 sales" should be in one of the links there.

In terms of next gen systems, it's by far #1, and it's hard to spin a 1.1 million Dec for a console that costs $400 as a bad thing. As for comparisons to the PS2, I never understood it. The PS2 is $129 and is the #1 selling console of all time in its 6th year. Comparing it to the 360 seems like comparing apples to oranges. When the 360 is 6 years old and $129, then it will be interesting to compare the figures side by side.
