Right now I believe it stands at around 16-17 million sold. It was at around 12-13 million back in November, two years after it launched, and its second year sales were lower than its first year sales. The Xbox achieved 25 million in four years.
It looks like Microsoft's second effort won't be much more successful at reaching an audience than their first.

Make this conclusion after it has hit the $199 price point
No thanks. Except for a small and very short spurt, price drops only sustain sales, they never raise them.
You have no clue what you are talking, you even think that 17 is half of 25.
I think 12.5 is half of 25. Do do you think 27 months is half of 48? Because that's what you're saying. We just ended the 27th month of the 360's lifetime. At the end of the 24th month, the 360's sales were somewhere between 12-13 million.
You have know clue what you are talking about. The 360 was at 13.4M at the end of Sep 07 and 17.7M at the end of they year, it's probably probably over 18M now. You are even more clueless when you said that 199 would just spike the sales. That is just plain ignorance, most consoles are sold after they hit 199 (ask the PS2) which is a price that the origianl Xbox hit 6 months after launch. So, not only it's it ahead of the Xbox pace, it is doing it at a much higher price.

That's just stupid. Not to diss Sony but they are not worth buying, they are to expensive for what they offer. They might aswell buy EA, Ubisoft, Square, T2, Namco, Capcom and Konami and save a bunch of cash.
