Despite doubts and rumors, Microsoft confirms the shipment of 10 million 360s by the end of 2006
According to the Houston Chronicle, Peter Moore, vice president of Microsoft, confirmed the company's expectation to ship 10 million Xbox 360 units by the end of 2006, and 13 to 15 million by June 30, 2007.
"The real growth here is getting to that moderate gamer," said Moore at a video game conference in New York. "We need to bring them to the box," as Microsoft is surely bringing the box to them -- 10 million 'boxes' to be exact.
October marked the 6 millionth Xbox 360 shipped for Microsoft.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
It was 6 million sold at the end of August if I'm right.
And yeah I do think they ship and sell 10 million at the end of this year.
Gears just out and it sells systems. Add Viva Piniata to it for the kids and the people that don't like blood and gore and it's set.
This Christmas millions of consumers want to shop presents/consoles. In next gen war 360 and PS, PS3 only has 500k on the shelves. The rest of the millions will buy a 360.
There you go. 10 million it's not that hard to sell. Especially not when one sees Gears of War running on the system in the shops! Man there is nothing like it on any other system. Not even on PC nowadays that has this quality and is out (I am not talking about future projects now like Crysis etc.)
Gears of War is a system seller, to be sure. And if you own a 360, this game will be in your library.
But the bottom line is that the consoles that will sell are the consoles in stock...and that's the 360 and, to a lesser extent, the Wii.
Considering it's the holidays and Sony coming up with a shortage of systems then yeah maybe MS could sell that many systems. But it's not going to be easy.
This shortage will be looked at as worse than the 360's shortage. Sony die-hard fans have been suffering for more than a year. They have no games to reward loyalty and they do not even get a competitive price break. It will not be easy at all.
I'm not hatin' by any means, but do these numbers seem a bit off....? So it took 11 months to ship 6 million. They predict shipping 4 million more in 2 months (nov/dec). And then it'll take 6 months to ship another 4 million consoles... I know the holiday season sells alot of hardware but these numbers seem kinda wonky. Sure, Gears is teh sh1t, but even more great titles are lined up for first quarter next year... I'd think the shipping numbers wouldn't be so drastically less than holiday 06' (basically a 33% decrease).
