Congratulations to the XBox team. I agree there are probably 1 or 2 million RRoD consoles out there, also the Live subscription figures are likely a litte inaccurate, however nowhere near as bad as some people are making out. What is impressive though, is that the attach rate for games would be even higher if not for the RRoD consoles. The money isn't in selling the machines themselves, but in the games, and the developers/publishers are going to be more interested in that than they are in the total number of 360 units sold, so well done, keep the good games coming...

Well just think how much longer it would have taken if people did not have to buy multiple Xboxs to replace the ones that broke...

Very clever of MS to release a defective product, but encourage us to build our libraries (and accessory piles), so when the 360 breaks (and it will), we really have no choice but to buy another one.

And if MS does not repair it, your stuck with DRM issues... Heck, even id MS does fix your 360, you'll probably have DRM issues.

Congratulations MS!

So when do we get Wits & Wagers, or the DBZ demo, or the video marketplace, or a zillion other things.. If you don't care about Europe, why release the Xbox here at all then..

I hope that thanks to the price drop the number of Xbox 360's sold in Europe will increase... This has been a good desition.

Now, let's celebrate the good moment of our console with some of the next titles that are going to be released soon!

Regards from Spain!

a few simple reasons that there are 10 million in USA and only 9 million in the rest of the world.

1. USA get more Content

2. USA is Cheaper game, xbox live, xbox live content, videos, ahh every thing(Even thought the $$$ is weak)

3. USA get every thing sooner

4. USA get more Free Content

5. Wii is out selling the XBOX 360 out side USA.

There was a reason the Sidewinder Controller didn't take off - it sucked in nearly every title. At first it seemed great, but the more you used it the worse it got - to me the Wii is next generation just like Xbox and PS3 - difference is there next gen feature was full motion sensing not just half butt attempts.

I find this all to funny. You released the 360 in advanced to other consoles so having more sales would be common sense. As for the live tags, when you call in and have a issue they almost 9/10 force you to create another gamertag. At one time i had 5 of them. If you wanted to pride yourself on something make the accessories a little cheaper. They are way over priced for what your asking. We pay you to stay in business, remember that.

Congrats to the Xbox Live Team. I remember the first night it was released on the Xbox Original that night the numbers went up and up and up. I see great things going for xbox360 and the Xbox franchise.

Actually Nintendo beat you to it with 24 million units sold. Sorry to bust your bubble. A Microsoft representative has corrected the statement:

"We apologize for any confusion. Xbox 360 has the largest global install base of any current-generation high definition [emphasis added] gaming console," the representative said. (www.gamespot.com/.../6190955.html)

Congrats on the sales. It's good for Microsoft and their partners. I suppose gamers can be happy that there are that many people playing Xbox360 titles, so there is larger chance of there being people online that you can play with.

No MS needs to show some appreciation and cut down the price of XBL subscriptions.
