Microsoft: Xbox 360 about to surpass sales of original Xbox |
Ó
By the end of November, Microsoft expects the Xbox 360's install base
to exceed 25 million, effectively going past the lifetime sales of the
original Xbox. Quite a landmark, but Microsoft said that it's "only a start."Microsoft's Mindy Mount, CFE of the Xbox business, says that "more than three-quarters" of a console's sales falls to the sweet spot of US$ 199, which is the current price of the Arcade. And I thought they were just desperate for people to stop noticing LittleBigPlanet.
According to their numbers, the recent 360 price cut kicked Xbox 360 sales up 42% month-on-month in the US, 62% in Europe, and 500% in Japan. Now the question is, can they keep this up?

Well, i don't know if they can keep this up on the future but they have sold a high number of consoles already on the past 2 months. Isn't this proof enough already? When all this started people were like:
Give it a week and it will all come back to "normal".
It has been 2 months already, so ya...
woo the xbox sales were that bad, that its already being passed?( but i do have to say,the numerous price cuts of the 360, has made it a gud choice(not that i would buy one lol))
lol when they break down so often its hard not to have more sales. There just making people go out and buy more...well those who think its worth it that is.
