Good news for Microsoft!! Although I'm sure they already know the news, since it was them who announced them. Anyway, Microsoft announced on Wednesday that its Xbox 360 gaming console has become "The first current-generation gaming console" to break the 10 million threshold for gaming units in the United States, while the Wii stands at 8.8 million and the PS3 at 4.1 million units sold (via Joystiq)
Now, breaking down the numbers, and assuming the Xbox 360 hit 10 million the midnight of May 14 2008, exactly 903 days after it's November 2005 launch, one would notice that:
• At a population of 301.4million, that's approximately 3.32% of all people in the US.
• Using the 903 metric, the Xbox 360 has therefore sold 11,074 per day, 461 per hour and 7.7 units per minute.
Microsoft also seized the opportunity to boast there's 12 million global members of Xbox Live (myself included) and 19 million Xbox 360 game consoles sold worldwide, which they claimed was more than any other current-generation console. Yet, GameDaily called the MS guys and reminded them the Wii has sold 25 million units worldwide, to which Microsoft said: "we apologize for any confusion. Xbox 360 has the largest global install base of any current gen, high definition gaming console" with added emphasis (take that, Mario!!)
