Forums - Microsoft Discussion - 78.2 million Xbox 360 sold.

From: Gamespot.com

 

Microsoft's current-generation system reaches new sales milestone since launch in 2005.

 


icrosoft sold 1 million Xbox 360s during the past three months, helping push worldwide life-to-date sales to 78.2 million, the company has revealed as part of its latest earnings report.

The 1 million systems sold during the quarter is down slightly from 1.1 million consoles sold during the same period last year.

By comparison, PlayStation 3 sales are estimated to be around 77 million units. Meanwhile, the original Wii has outpaced both platforms by a healthy margin, selling close to 100 million systems to date.

Microsoft's Xbox division posted $134 million in revenue (up 8 percent) for the period ended June 30. Xbox Live transactional revenue jumped 20 percent, the company said.

The Xbox One launches in November for $500.

I found odd you congratzing MS xD



I wonder if this is actually shipped or sold. I'm leaning towards the shipped side of things, though.

I only wonder because, if these are sold numbers, then PS3 and 360 would be neck and neck according to VGC.



Why has the Xbox 360 sold 2.2 million and the PS3 0 million in the same time frame?

Oh, noes! you mean it is still ahead world wide?!? That will make some people very upset.

Very, very upset. If you listen real closely, you can hear their screams and tears.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

It is widely-known that Ps3 has no gaems. That's why.



OMG the PS3 is so overtracked wtf vgchartz!!!! never going to come to this site again thk you iOi



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Y u say dis...



YTD sales on this site do not match up with shipments. The Xbox 360 is heavily overtracked on this site.

VGChartz has the 360 on 2.9m SOLD since Jan 2013 (up to 1st July). Microsoft has it on 2.3m SHIPPED since Jan 2013. 


I can only imagine the PS3 is being overtracked as well.
