Its shipped guys. Check out the article on the front page. They are clearing out inventory to prepare for launching a X360 box that will include Natal.

Microsoft head honcho Steve Ballmer has told a CES 2010 audience that there are over 39 million Xbox 360s in homes around the world.

10.5m X360s shipped from Jan-Dec 2009 is about 6% off the peak four-quarter period for X360, and thats despite the aggressive price cutting.

From April 2008 to March 2009 they shipped 11.2m X360s - thats the best 12 month period for X360. From July 2008 to June 2009 they shipped 11.1m X360s. From October 2008 to September 2009 they shipped 11m X360s. From January 2009 to December 2009 they shipped 10.5m X360s. Looks like it is in steady decline to me.

How exactly is phasing out a SKU and dropping the price of the highest SKU, an example of "agressive price cutting?"

themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

You can't compair VGChartz's data with that of Microsoft. Maybe the truth lies in the middle and 39mil have shipped and 37.5mil are in homes right now. We simply don't know because the 36.4mil from VGChartz and the 39mil from Microsoft aren't based on the same information. So saying 2.5mil must be in stores is a figure that you can only produce when your talkig with your ass.

ne thing is that VG numbers are missing one week which will be around 600 K for x360 which means 1.7 million are on shelfs.I m sure that sony will announce 34 million shipped (27.5 till september was shipped,,,3.8 million were sold only in the last month,,,so 34 is very likely)and VG has it at around 31

This goes against all tracking services, not just vgchartz. A piece to the puzzle is missing.

Time for hype

I think it's cute how many are taking Ballmers 'in homes' is taken as gospel. How many times has this guy stuffed up before? Many times, that's how many.
