Xbox Sales Nearing 10 Million | |
|

| Time: 12:11 EST/17:11 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

Microsoft said last week that it continues to lose money in the gaming sector as it tries to gain ground on its Japanese competitors. The company said it has sold 9.4 million consoles since its launch. The Xbox is doing best in North America - with 6.2 million units sold - while it has sold 2.2 million units in Europe and 1 million units in Asia. Microsoft also has half a million subscribers to its Xbox Live online games service - which will begin charging monthly fees this year. Microsoft and its publishing partners are selling an average of five games for every console sold. Chief financial officer John Connors predicted the number of consoles sold during Microsoft's next fiscal year would be between 14.5 million to 16 million and the number of Xbox Live subscribers will grow to 1 million. | ||

| #2, how are they "giving them away"? |

| Giving them away? Hmm, how does that work in D.C., and not in the other 50 REAL states? Microsoft is HARDLY giving them away. Microsoft employees have to pay the full $179 retail price as well. |

And there are what, 5oo million PC's in use.
Which makes the big push for XBox-Only games hard for me to understand :) TL |

"Which makes the big push for XBox-Only games hard for me to understand :) "
1. Techlarry, along the same line why should Sony make PS2 only games when clearly the big fish is the PC market. 2. Why should a software development company write any software except for the PC since that is the dominant marketshare (bye bye Apple). 3. Why should hardware manufacturers write drivers for any platform but the PC? Clearly they must have a reason Larry. |

| Anyone know how many units the PS2 sold? |
| #9 By 8589 (65.71.65.16) at 7/22/2003 8:52:52 AM |
| Well, Lord willing, I am getting an X-Box in August. So, they can add 1 to those sold in the USA then. LOL |

| #15 - I'm still wondering if Halo will ever come out on the system it was first designed for - The Mac!! |

| #17 - Nah, I don't think Bungie cares about the extra $300 they would get from selling it to all 7 Mac users. |
