Xbox 360: Sales top 40 million

Today, Microsoft confirmed that since its launch in November 2005, the Xbox 360 has sold over 40 million units worldwide.This currently puts it ahead of Sony's Playstation 3 (33.5 million, Dec 2009), but still on the tales of Nintendo's Wii (67.45 million, Dec 2009).


Microsoft's Xbox 360 sales are back on the rise

Microsoft is hoping the release of Project Natal, a motion sensing camera ad-on for the system, will further increase sales, and heavy rumours imply the company is also seeking to follow in Sony's footsteps, releasing a slimmed version of the console.

Could this be the future for X360? (Note: Fanmade image)

Perhaps a further price cut, tied in with the release of Halo: Reach, will also result in further sales. Many gamers who have the other two systems, may see now as an opportune time to pick up the third, and play its exclusives.

    I dunno man, the prices on the 360 are already really low. It's far easier to get in on this generation than it was 5 years ago. Microsoft would surely start losing money if they were to cut prices again. It's worth thinking about, though.

    I am a big gamer and always searches for the latest version of different games.. and playing games especially Halo on my Xbox 360 is my all time favorite... and if the price is going to down in few days then it will be definitely a great news for us...
