Microsoft Sells 55 Million Xbox 360 Consoles

If you work for Sony you might want go watch TV right now -- there's something on Discovery about ostriches and sand. Meanwhile, Microsoft just said that they sold 55 million Xbox 360s globally, which is very probably enough to maintain its lead over the PS3.

 Moreover, 360 sales in the US are still accelerating six years into its life-cycle, thanks largely to updates like Kinect -- and Microsoft boasts that "no other console in history can make that claim." What's more, neither the Wii nor the PS3 has yet reached its sixth birthday, so the story isn't over.

    Now if only they would open up the X-Box's to use any hard drive, then they would be gods in my eyes.

    I bet they'll be selling tons more after all the bad publicity that Sony's been getting lately with PSN.

    55 million. Damn.. That's a huge chunk of change when you multiply it by the cost of each console.
