Microsoft Psyched About Xbox 360 Momentum After February Sales Win
Today's NPD data day and Microsoft has just revealed that its Xbox 360 console has sold 535,000 units for the month. "February was the biggest non-holiday month of console sales in the U.S. in the history of the Xbox, according to NPD. For the second month in a row, Xbox 360 was the number one console, maintaining its lead in the U.S. as the top selling console in 2011," Microsoft said.
The company also noted that total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform (hardware, software and accessories) reached $475 million, which is "the highest among current generation consoles."
The news comes right after Microsoft reached another important sales milestone, as Kinect has sold through 10 million worldwide. "Microsoft expects the momentum to continue throughout 2011 as Xbox 360 owners look forward to the arrival of Kinect-enabled Netflix and Hulu Plus, Avatar Kinect as well as a diverse catalog of new games," the company stated.

To sound nicer? No. Neither VGChartz or NPD are 100% accurate, so neither is 100% right or wrong. While I myself do say from time to time that so and so is undertracked, it's only when comparing to NPD numbers. They aren't really under or over tracked if they come within the margin of error that is said to be /- 10%. |
Most of the time. I recall a few games being off by a lot, but usually yeah, pretty close.

Not quite I say, PS3 will have done about 350,000 ( thanks to killzone 3) and Wii 250,000.

Greenberg says that is the biggest non-holiday sales month ever.
Just want to play good games
So it seems the Xbox 360 was undertracked for the month of February by 50 thousand not bad. I still can't believe it did over half a million in february. Kinect really is doing wonders for this system. So I guess they weren't lying about the supply shortages.
