This is also going to be the first time any Xbox console has ever sold 10 million in one year.

Well there's only been 2 of them...

I mean...one did and one didn't. It's like saying that I flipped a coin twice and the second time was the first time it landed on tails.

Amazing post montana. There's been 8 different years the Xbox brand has been out. This is the first year it has done 10 million. It's certainly worth noting this new level of success. I figured you of all people would actually understand.

I just find this to be hilarious, considering how many predicting the 360 would be dead this year...heck, even up until the price cut, a few were saying it was M$ firesale time...lol...that is until the slew of million seller started slamming up sales. Well, personally, I never expected the 360 to sell 11 million consoles in one year...never, and here it is on the brink of that.
