Forums - Sales - 360 the first console to reach 100 million sellers

Smeags on 26 August 2010

So far this year, Wii has had 14 new million sellers, PS3 has had 13, and 360 (with The Beatles: Rock Band just making it this week) has 12. I definitely think it's going to stay pretty close for the rest of the year. Should be fun to see who comes out on top though.

OT: Congrats to the 360 for this awesome achievement! (Achievement unlocked. )

How did Seece miss this? He had a 360 1 million milestone thread that was quite length.

Congrats to MS.

Wonder if the following will ever hit a million -

Ninja Gaiden 2 

Lost Odyssey (Probably not)

Tekken 6 (most likely, take that PS exclusive ;)

Darksiders

Bayonetta

150 seems easily attainable, 200 will be the true challenge.



It's just that simple.

Yea, I think you're freaking out about nothing.  Stating how it is still nothing compared to ps2 is a really good thing to do.  It shows that while it is the highest this generation by a long shot, this gen has been nothing compared to the ps2 last gen.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Awesome stuff. I think there were a few threads about which would reach 100M first. Im glad I picked right.

I guess it shows that the Xbox 360 has been a relatively consistant software seller, especially the first few years which gave it the lead.

There are 98 million sellers.

The Beatles and skate 2 are close, but about 5 - 10k away each.

I still estimate Reach to be the 100th Million Seller.

August 28th - Beatles Rockband (99)
September 4th -
September - 11th -
September - 18th - Halo Reach (100)
September - 25th - skate 2, Madden 11 (101,102)

Wow 100 million sellers, but PS2 still has 224 million sellers :P

Still, for a current gen console, mid-way through life, that may still end up with 150 million sellers, and right now the 360 still has 38 more million sellers then PS3 (62 total), and 16 more million sellers then the Wii (84 total).

Just imagine how much money Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are making off royalties. I heard it's about $12 per game.


That's a stupid comparison. It's like saying the PS3 has more million sellers than the dreamcast and thus is doing incredibly

What? which comparision in particular? Just saying the PS2 did a lot better...


Anything to negate MS success?

LOL must be, but nothing will come close to PS2.

DS Maybe. How many 100 sellers does that have?

DS Maybe. How many 100 sellers does that have?

The DS only has 105 million sellers, so with a good holiday season, 360 will probably surpass the DS million seller-wise and be the best this gen all-together. For reference PSP has 36 million sellers, GBA has 51 million sellers, and the original Gameboy/GBC has 56 million sellers. So the DS has really stepped up software sales for handhelds.

So PS2 still has the most at 224, Playstation 1 is second with 136, then DS is third with 105, the 360 is fourth with 100, Wii is fifth with 84, NES is sixth with 64, PS3 is seventh with 62, GB is eigth with 56, N64 is ninth with 52, GBA is tenth with 51, XB is elevenths with 50, SNES is twelth with 48, GC is thirteeth with 41, and PSP is fourteenth with 36 currently.

So all current gen system except PSP are doing well, but to be fair PSP is doing moderatly well for a handheld since handhelds before DS only got around 50 million sellers, and PSP still has some life.

Thank you for backing me up, I can't say anything pro-360 in these forums without being blasted.
