55 Million Xbox 360's Shipped In Six Years

Xbox 360 has moved 55 million consoles in six years

Microsoft has announced Xbox 360 has now sold sold 55 million consoles across 38 countries during the six years it's been on the market.

The console, according to NPD, as maintained the top spot on the console charts for the past eleven months, and during the first four months of 2011, Xbox 360 has seen a 29 percent year-over-year increase in sales.

Microsoft said this figure is "triple the growth of PlayStation 3 and the largest growth of any console on the market."

The firm also said there are now 35 million active Xbox Live members worldwide "spending an average of almost 60 hours a month on the service," which means that cumulatively, Live members are now logging 2.1 billion hours a month on the service. That's three-times the amount of usages compared to a year ago.

Microsoft also said it has sold more than 10 million Kinect sensors and more than 10 million standalone Kinect games worldwide, making the Xbox 360 console more of an entrainment device than ever before.

The firm expects 2011 to "once again be a high water mark as the best year ever for the brand."

It also sent over a handy graph which you can check out below.

There will be tears, there will be joy, but in the end only the highest in the chartzz shall survive.

Looks like the formula to succees its not having first party and exclusive titles, it has been doing wonders for them!!

INB4 VGCHARTZ LOL

Edit: is that NPD I see? :oops:

people need to quit buying this thing so the nextbox will release.

Even at the Wii's lowest point since it's fall it's still barely just under the PS2

Looks like they've taken a leaf out of the lems' handbook and tried to pass NPD sales off as the world. They may be winning in America but PS3 will overtake the 360 real soon.BigBoss255

I don't see them trying to pass NPD sales off as worldwide anywhere.

The fact that they're still showing upward growth after 6 years (and being the earliest console on the market this gen) is actually very impressive.Ravensmash

I'm thinking MS is feeling much better about their gaming division this gen. 8)

Next gen is going to be extremely interesting as far as .. teh Horse Race goes. :P

[QUOTE="BigBoss255"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Wait what? They released worldwide figures - the NPD graph was just showing the US sales, no deception going on here :|MFDOOM1983

So...let's see if I've got my numbers right, here:

On March 31st Sony and MS announced they had sold 50m and 53.6m for the PS3 and 360 respectively.

2 months later, MS announce they have sold (or shipped, whatever you want to call it) 55m which means they have sold about 1.4m in 2 months. I guess we have to wait for Sony to see if they have sold 51.4m+?

Though it confuses me why MS released these numbers considering it isn't the end of their quarter yet.

No I'm just questioning why MS need to act like the 360 is crushing the PS3BigBoss255

Because it is.

I bet 20-30% of their total sales are rebuys.04dcarraher

Sure, in the US.

But it has been a completely different story everywhere else in the world since both consoles were launched. :P

[QUOTE="BigBoss255"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Why not? They clearly stated it was NPD. I think you're trying to look for something that isn't there.Ravensmash

20 million of those are already broken though.kuraimen

based on what? :|

Did MS release figures on march 31st?blue_hazy_basic

In answer to the question about why these are being released, presumably because it's a nice milestone figure.

Technically, you are right. But the numbers released are from when the quarter ended, no?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] But the 360 has sold more than the PS3 worldwide :|Ravensmash

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="kuraimen"] Based on RROD and my personal calculating skillzzzzz :Pkuraimen

microsoft doesn't sell consoles to private individuals. they sell to retailers. replacement parts wouldn't factor into those numbers. were you just making an irrelevant statement that has nothing to do with the numbers being reported?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="BigBoss255"] I mean on a weekly/monthly basis PS3 is selling more than 360, despite all of this growth in the US, PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide.
