I've asked this before, but it's getting closer all the time, so I though we could discuss it again.
This is where we are now. As you can see, 360 is now considerably ahead of the original Xbox at this point in time, and its accelerated, not decelerated growth, as the original Xbox had.
By the end of next week, the 360 will be within 50k of its Japanese total for the original Xbox. That should put the 360 ahead of the Xbox by the end of October, and definitely Nov/December, when Christmas and Lost Odyssey come.
Also of note is that the 360 is still ahead of the original Xbox in America. We can't tell about EU figures, because they aren't available for the original Xbox right now. Dicsuss!
