From mcvuk.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft has told MCV that the Xbox 360 has now topped its predecessor's installed base around the globe.

The company previously noted that it expected to achieve the feat at the end of this month - but it has now confirmed to MCV that 360 has already overtaken the original Xbox's total sales of 25 million.

Oh the wonders of the ban hammer, it's pretty obvious it contributed to them getting to that mark earlier than expected. Heck it got me to buy another one...stupid Microsoft!

you're right, it's their fault if you use pirated games...

Anyway, it's good to hear that x360 is doing a lot better than the older console, is I always say, it's good to have competition, microsoft plays a lot better when he is not leading.

they don't ban you from playing games on your console, just going on xbox live. You took that risk when you modded the bloody thing.

and I don't think the amount of pirates buying second consoles just to get back on live made a big impact on the 25 million console sales. get over yourself.

You're correct. It's all the hardware failures.

Hey,

I would expect the number of sales to start to rise in the near future. Once the three year warranty starts running out for the RROD people will have to buy a new box.

We will get another one the next time ours craps out, while our original Xbox is still going strong.
