Microsoft has confirmed that 70 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold worldwide since it launched way back in 2005.
20 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold in the past year as Microsoft announced that 50 million consoles were sold last year. Microsoft has stated that the Xbox 360 is still the best selling console in the USA with 49% market share.
The Nintendo Wii still remains the highest selling console this generation with over 96 million consoles sold to date. The PS3 isn’t too far behind from the Xbox 360 with sales of around 68 million sold thus far.
It will be interesting to see which console consumers will buy for Christmas this year. Microsoft have announced a price cut for the Xbox 360, although Nintendo will be releasing the Wii U. Sony just released its new PS3 super slim model too.
