Microsoft also still foresees shipping 12 million Xbox 360s by the end of the aforementioned period, which ends on June 30.

And what is up with that?I thought they had hit 10 million in January already?

Wii is no doubt a success, but I cant see Wii lasting as long as the other 2 platforms.

Hmm, let's see if Microsoft can hit it's goal of selling 12 million 360's.  The 360 really isn't selling that much better than it's expensive brother, teh PS3.

If I bought a 360 to give Microsoft a profit rather then to play great games I might care. I don't see how them making a profit would make 360 games any more or less enjoyable for anyone.

Not when it comes to quality games. Even the PS3 beats it there and it's having a very slow start.

Nope, M$ lied about 10.4 million units being sold. Lemmings actually do still believe it though, LOL.

Microsoft have sold 8 million units so far,they're nowhere near 11 million as they claim. They overstock the retailers and then use the numbers sold to the retailers(Not consumers)as their sale figures.Very shady business.

Why does he need a link?If they had really sold 10 mill+ why are they only going to be shipping 12 million by the end of June,are they only going to sell less than 2 millon consoles in 6 months worldwide?

Any realistic statement concerning the 360 is usually ignored.

"Microsoft's overall earnings rise 65 percent, but sales at itsEntertainment and Devices division drop."

"The sector, which incorporates the company's Xbox 360, Games for Windows, Microsoft Game Studios, and Zune businesses, saw quarterly revenue slide 21 percent"

Sums it up nicely.

If every 360 owner now buys another console, we can double the number of consoles sold! Think about that!

And you know what? Its probably a good idea to have the system say in your bedroom and downstairs!

Come on lemmings! Lets do it!
