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."
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?
