Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft says February was the “biggest in Xbox 360 history”

Lastgengamer on 13 March 2010

Microsoft has responded to the February NPD figures, and as expected, it is pleased as punch with blowing by both Wii and Sony to rest in second place on the hardware charts with 422K units sold.

 

Xbox 360 also did rather well in software sales, capturing four spots on the top 10 with BioShock 2 at number one for the console, and third-party games sales hitting $170 million for February.

“Thanks to a stellar portfolio of exclusive blockbuster games, a fresh pipeline of new content on Xbox Live and high anticipation for controller-free gaming and entertainment with Project Natal for Xbox 360, I’m pleased to announce we had the biggest February in Xbox 360 history,” said COO Dennis Durkin.

“This month’s NPD results are a further proof point to what will be our biggest – and best – year in Xbox history.”

Guess MS is off to a good start, and if this trend continues, Arron Greenberg may be right – Xbox 360 may beat PS3 by the end of the year – or at least give it a run for it’s money.

The year is still young yet though, so don’t start placing any bets just yet.

Well MS certainly has the America's on lockdown in terms of the HD war, its become an incredibly powerful brand in America. Also this is good news for owners of the 360 because good sales = longer support for the product so hopefully things continue going good cause I'm def not ready for the next gen yet.

What happened for this ocasional x360 bump to happen?

Wii and PS3 somewhat are having supply issues but that alone wouldn't be enough to make such a high volume of 360 sales.

I demand an explanation.

I didn't know America is the only significant country for the console war.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Mass effect 2 launched in feb didn't it? That might have had an effect on it.

So now MS is using its NPD figures (which only tracks America) to say its basically 'won' February? I take it MS has basically no concern for the rest of the world, since both the Wii AND PS3 outsold it in total sales for Feb.
