Well the figures speak for themselves, and one would wonder - what's next and why are they clearing the decks. My money has ALWAYS been on the fact the next new motherboard, Valhalla will heard in the X720.

With movement like this, it could be the case, and not in 2012 as some have said, but mention of it will be in late 2009 with possible release alongside the current 360 in 2010

Sure it’s been rumoured this was the case, but it’s now officially official!

For all the cynics who derided Microsoft’s entry into the console gaming industry a generation ago there’s a whole lot of pride to swallow in that figure.

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is not only the number one HD console on the market, but Xbox Live is the number one “global entertainment network” with 20 million active members.

And in mind shattering news apparently when you launch a new dashboard with great content, easy navigation, targeted advertising, and easy, care free payments using ephemeral points and convenient credit cards… well, people tend to spend a lot more. A hell of a lot more! Recessions and depressions be damned!
So what does this all mean?

Well the Xbox 360 is not only selling faster than in previous years but at an increasingly faster pace than it’s direct competition, the Playstation 3.
