Of course if you were to take worldwide sales into consideration over the period after inital launches, the situation is much more stunning, With Wii making something in the order of 3.5 million by the end of the year to Sony's 1.2ish million and MS's 1.0ish million
bbelt-the Xbox 360 numbers are for last years launch, this is just comparing launch period for the 3 systems.
O.K. "November through the end of the year" for the 360 was '05, the 360 launch. The other 2 were obviously '06.
You know, as much as I want the title of this post to be true, it's not. Let's do some simple math.X-Box 360 – 607,343PS3 – 687,300Let's sum those.The total is 1,294,643.I don't understand how a lesser number, 1,100,000 is "nearly double sales of PS3/360 combined."As a previous commenter noted, this MIGHT be true if we were looking at worldwide launch numbers, but we're not.Please explain?
