Thats not much of an achievement considering that the last Xbox was also one of the highest selling american made consoles of all time and there were no reasonable american consoles before that.

like i said, there weren't any reasonable consoles before the xbox (i guess the 2600 was decent) and sold nowhere near the numbers of the xbox because of the smaller market.

The original Xbox sold 24 million units. The Atari 2600 sold 30 million. :|

Regardless of where the consoles are manufactured, the company is American.

Xbox 360 is doing much better then I thought it would at this point. I can see them reaching 50 million sold if M$ doesn't cut the console's life anytime soon.

How? The Xbox 1 was considered a failure. MS and Nintendo deserve props for turning everything around and crushing last gens leading company in the console wars.

That's not even the biggest part. They're still outselling PS3 in US, by quite a bit. Now that's impressive.

Actually, the 16 cents came from stupid lawsuits regarding coffee being too hot and cheese burgers that can give you diabetes. :P

If Natal attracts the casuals than it is very likely considering it is the best motion peripheral out of all of them.

Well, the console is still technically made in China. It should be "the Xbox 360 was planned and published by Microsoft". :P
