January 06, 2009 in News comments 4

After yesterday's European sales figures announcement, Electronic Theatre reports on the Xbox360's global performance - selling a staggering 28 Million Units.

Despite a tough economy, the gaming industry held strong in 2008 and Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system recorded the biggest year in Xbox history, with more consoles, games and online entertainment experiences sold than any previous year. It was a year in which life-to-date unit sales of Xbox 360 systems climbed to 28 million consoles worldwide - expanding the product's lead over Sony PlayStation 3 to more than 8 million units.

    It's 28 million shipped, not sold, to be precise.

    Basically it boils down to this:
    28 million shipped WW at the end of 2008
    17 Million Live Members
    8.5 million or more gold members
    ~8 million lead over the PS3, largest to date
    1 billion spent on Live to date

    with the head start the 8 million more units sold sounds about right. Itll b interesting to see where the numbers stack up after GoW3 and FFvXIII.
