Just finished listening to Microsoft's shareholder conference call about today's announcement of the 3-year extended warranty for all Xbox 360 consoles. Microsoft confirmed to it's shareholders that 11.6 million consoles were sold by the end of June, just shy of their 12 million prediction.

Although the shareholder conference just ended, it will be uploaded for your listening pleasure Here

I think that's just Sony, and that Microsoft does in fact state the number sold. I could be wrong, although I'm not entirely sure Microsoft would "stretch" the truth of consoles sold while having a conference call specifically for their shareholders.

not bad, 360 is still a little higher than people would like to pay for. plus 360 still moves more software than the wii

They all used shipped figures. None of them have direct information from every retailer.

So about 3million of those Xbox are broken right? 30%? :lol:

I think the december thing was how many were shipped. And this seems to be sales according to next gen wars. So I'd say maybe 3 million, which is still pretty slow.

I recall Microsoft using shipped.

There was that quote where they said something in the lines of "10 million sold, as in shipped to retailers."

Is this missleading or just a mistake...

GS news posted the following: "Luckily for the Redmond-based firm, it only barely missed its goal. According to Liddell, over 11.6 million 360s were shipped worldwide during the 12-month period, which ....."

Notice it says "Shipped"

MS uses shipped figures as sold figures because like Sony and Ninty, they sell the consoles to retailers.

This is 11.6 Million shipped as of June 30th 2007. Meaning they probably only sold about 10.5 Million give or take a few thousand.

Microsoft's sold is sold to retailers not to consumers, NPD numbers are estimates of what are sold to consumers.

Assuming the defect rate is 30%, 3 million of those would have been replaced and fixed, however as to how many were replaced in-store as opposed to being sent directly to Microsoft for replacement is impossible to guess. So as to how many have officially been sold minus the ones that were replaced which does add to the total number of units in homes and the returned ones are not factored in, I would say anywhere between 8 and10 million units are actually in homes, that is factoring out the return to store for a new unit figures which do get added to the number sold by the company. Sony would have done the same thing with the PS2 as well no doubt, I would imagine a lot of units got replaced in store due to warranties, which Sony added to their total number of units sold.

Damn MS. Why didn't they use shippoed numbers like Sony. Hell Sony used replaced PS2 to their sales figures, MS should stoop to their level.
