microsoft has improved this generation. they deserved the sales

80 million is better then a loss though. :P

Dante, they aren't publishing either title and hardware didn't spike much with GTAIV.   While I'm sure profit will still increase, don't expect it to jump considerably.

Can you confirm the supposed $500 million was taken from MS Entertainment and Devices Division?

Do we really need a new thread for every million sold of a console? Wait for the more round numbers to celebrate at this point. 20, 25, 30, etc are worth a thread. Passing the previous console is worth a thread. 19 million though? Hardly noteworthy at all really.

I agree, but none of these kind of threads are made for the X360 on this site. But you see threads for PS3 created for all sorts of mile-stones and odd-number market shares.

True enough. I fully expect to have to replicate this post with a few numbers and names changed to better address the over zealous Nintendo fanboys.

The Wii should be at 26.22 million they aren't gonna sell 400K in the US this week. It may even be lower because of stockpiling for Wii Fit. 

The 360 might hit 19 million, but the PS3 will hit 14 million before the 360 hits 20 million.

actually Microsoft game Studios is co publishing Ninja Gaiden II with team Ninja and even if microsoft doesnt publish a game they still get a percent of the sale of a game just for it being used on the console

Hmm, couldnt you hold yourself for a million more, come on, 19 million is a pointless number, on the other hand 20 million, thats 1 to celebrate.
