truth

All they need to do is drop the premium price tag to $399.00. I would pick one up for that price today if that were the cost. The reason being is that though it is an insanely powerful system with bluray it doesnt have the games(yet).

Drop the price Sony and I will pick one up.

There are PS3's at my local target. I am suprised as well. Honestly they are to expensive. I think that is turning people off.

Honestly this is getting annoying. Console First person shooters do not feel clunky compared to PC's. In fact I think they are superior. I can't stand using a mouse and keyboard.

I have tried many a time and have had PC games. I dont like the controls for PC games. If I did I would be a PC gamer.

PC fanboys need to stop talking about how consoles feel uncomfortable. It is merely your opinion.

If PC gaming was the way to go then we would be talking about the next generation of PC gaming and not consoles. There is a reason why consoles are more popular. One they are simpler to upgrade. You buy one every 5 or so years.

Two the controllers are pick em up and play unlike PC.

XBOX 360 SALES! What everyone wants to know. First of all if you are an Xbox 360, Sony PS3, or Nintendo Wii fanboy get lost. This is not for fanboys and I am tired of all the trolling.

Now for sales.

US and Europe actually have the two largest markets and dwarf that of Japan by twice as much. In fact last generation the PS2 sold over 40 + million units in both Europe and the US while it barely sold over 20 million in Japan. Therefore it is very possible a console need only to excel in Europe and the US to win a generation.

Furthermore the Xbox 360 has SOLD over 8+ million units worldwide. This is faster that the PS2 sold in its first year. This is a huge feat considering the Xbox 360 has not even had its price drop like the PS2 did have in its first year on the market.

Secondly Microsoft now makes approx. $80.00 per Xbox 360 Premium sold.

This is before the new 65nanometer chip is out. Therefore it is reasonably to think that the Xbox 360 will have a $100.00 price drop next year which will be more than the PS3 could fathom since Sony is still working out Production issues on its current Version 1 PS3.

It is pretty clear that Microsoft will undoubtedly finish 1st this generation because they in fact will be over 10,000,000 by December 31 of this year.

Keep in mind that the PS3 wont even be launching in Europe until MArch of next year at the earliest. By this time the PS3 will be competing with the Xbox 360 with an installed base worldwide of about 14 Million units.

There is no sense in arguing about the success of the Xbox 360. It is a Success.

It will more than likely win this generation. The question now is who will come in second. Either the PS3 or the Wii.

Until the PS3 gets production issues resolved it looks like the Wii has the best shot at reaching the coveted second place. However as we all know the Wii's graphics are less than spectacular and it may not have staying power.

The battle really isnt between the Xbox 360,PS3, or the Wii anymore. The 360 barring catastophic production inability will win.

Anyone who is considering the Xbox 360 to be the next dreamcast is sorely naive. The Xbox 360 by the end of its this year will have matched the Dreamcast lifetime sales. In fact it will actually have sold more than the Sega Saturn.

This is all within its first year. When the price drop happens it will even sell more.

Bottomline stop trolling about the system being a failure. If you dont like the games for it thats your opinion. Then again I dont see how thats possible because it has more games than both the PS3 and Wii combined. Therefore talking about its games like they suck means your a fanboy and have nothing better to do but troll.

Peace,

According to the offical sales area (right hand side where you cant edit) of Wikipedia the Xbox 360 has already sold 8 Million units worldwide.

@ AC. OK YOU REALLY GOT YOUR NUMBERS WRONG!

Xbox 360 has sold 2.9 million in USA ONLY through October. In November the analyst say the will sell another 750,000. That puts them at 3.65 million. In December they forcasted another 1.5 million sold to 2 million. That puts them between 5.65 million and 6.65 million in the US ALONE!

That does not include Canada, Mexico, and of course the other major gaming powerhouse....EUROPE!

Bottomline is that Microsoft will easily sell 10,000,000 by the end of this year. This is a huge feat considering the system has not even had its first price drop. Imagine how this system is going to sell once the core is at $199.00 and the premium is at $299.00.

I feel this is an impressive feat nonetheless and am amazed that it has sold so well without Halo 3 on shelves.

Then again the games have been great for it.

If you dont own it you are really missing out.

What kind of nonsense is this. The Xbox 360 has just passed 7 Million units sold worldwide and they are saying that only 800,000 people are willing to buy an Xbox 360 and thats it?

Are you nucking futz.

I saw today that you can get the Xbox 360 Premium System, two wireless controllers, plug and play unit(recharger) and Project Gotham Racing for a bundle of only $450.00 at Costco.

That is a pretty damn sweet bundle.
