According to Nexgenwars, the Xbox 360 has sold over 8 million consoles worldwide. Just shy of the 10 million sold by the end of the year goal announced by Microsoft. Whether or not we can trust the numbers by Nexgenwars is at question also. Will they make it or will the warm reception of the Wii impact there potential sales?
One thing is certain, jumping through hoops or waiting in a line for endless hours to get a PlayStation 3 or a Wii isn’t what the average consumer is willing to do for a video game machine when they see that shiny white 360 display staring them in the face with an established library. After it’s all said and done availability not Gears of War will ultimately be the killer app.

Two things that I think boosts the sales of xbox 360’s is the fact it was released so much quicker that the competitosr and the rise of sites offering free xbox 360’s. To fid out about free 360’s visit my blog wheener.wordpress.com.

The total vacancy of PS3’s is what is boosting the sales… not freebies.
