The Xbox 360 console was released in 2005 and has generated more than $56 billion at retail since then. Microsoft has announced that this notorious console has sold 67 million units in its lifetime.
Microsoft published a graph that details NPD data that reveals US console hardware sales. It illustrates that PS3 and Xbox 360 sales will increase, while Nintendo Wii sales are shown to decrease.
On the official Microsoft blog, Chief Marketing Officer for Microsft's Interactive Entertainment Division Yusuf Mehdi said, "We understand that entertainment has become a multi-screen experience where you and your friends are watching TV, listening to music, and playing games while interacting with your tablets and phones in new ways. We've got ideas for making all the entertainment you love more personal, interactive and social across the devices you love-and on the phenomenal Windows 8 devices that are to come."
Medhi states that we will see the first of that next week at E3, where they will showcase the very best of Xbox-unveiling new games, show new ways to enjoy the entertainment you love and share a few surprises. He also mentions that for the first time ever, you will be able to watch E3 on Xbox LIVE.
The Xbox 360 truly has been able to "defy gravity" and we can only wait and see what the console has in store for the future.
