The only reason they are still selling is because every ones Xbox's are breaking and instead of paying 120$ and wait a month they just go and buy an arcade console.

I'm surprised at the amount the DS sold even with the rising sensation that is the flash/mediacard.

But elsewhere?
Microsoft's intelligence cannot cross the border.
The only reason this has got to do with the American sales figures is because NPD Group only do the sales figure analysis for American companies, so to find out how good or crap they did elsewhere we shall have to wait.

What is wrong with you people? Your absolute sheep. The OP gives a negative opinion, so you follow suit. Here's an idea: Get an actual opinion.
So...because our opinions happen to coincide with the OP, that suddenly means we're sheep? You think maybe, just maybe, we went through our own thought processes and came to the same conclusion?

Just because this is the internet doesn't mean we're not allowed to agree with people.

I think Microsoft shouldn't be patting themselves on the back. If my Xbox 360 was working, I would have bought so many more games. As it stands now, the people at the repair shop have had more time with my 360 than I have. I really think Microsoft should stay out of the next console generation because I can't see why anyone in their right mind would subject themselves to this treatment again. I know I won't.
You'd be surprised. People enjoy playing those Xbox exclusives so much, it seems like they'd buy the next Xbox even if it shot them in the leg every time they turn the system on, just so they can play the next Halo installment. I don't know how else to put it.

I'm not saying I'm right. I highly doubt I'm right.

I'm simply saying that so many posts, so close to the OP's views can't be coincidence. Some may be expression their actual opinions, but chances say atleast one is following suit.

Maybe I was a little general with my post though, so I apologise for that.

Well just by going on other articles and posts made on this forum I would have to agree. The 360 is the only balanced console especially now they got the RROD in order. The Wii lacks power to do much. And what little power it does have isn't utilized by 3rd parties. The PS3 is a monster but few have been able to tame it. Once (or if) they invest the time and money into figuring it out then we could see more amazing games. Then we have the 360. It is like a pair of favorite sneakers. Sure they might look like hell. They occasionally need to be held together by a piece of gum and duct tape.But they fit and are comfortable. They didn't include fancy bells and whistles or try to reinvent the sneaker.

actually it is true, it only outsells in the USA, in Japan it is being killed by the ps3. kotaku posts weekly sales and the 360 is the dead last in last every week, with a couple exceptions when a new game the Japanese like comes out. the ps3 sells at least 2-3 times more 360 on average in Japan

m$ also has had a very long track record of fudging numbers in their favour. they love to pull numbers out of places where the sun don't shine and then present them as the defacto standard of how awesome they are

Look, call it arrogance or whatever you want; as a company, Microsoft is sort of obligated to pitch itself like that. It comes off as sounding very full of themselves, but in all honesty I don't blame them for using this as an opportunity to market themselves. The bottom line is that every corporation is out to make money.

I find it rather remarkable that the 360 has succeeded as much as it has considering the somewhat hilarious amount of hardware issues the system has. I guess this is a testament to the 360's admittedly large appeal.

Possibly, but I rather suspect it's more along the lines of this site already attracting people who'd be of the opinion that this is a rather arrogant statement by Microsoft (especially since we not only have a ton of multi-platform gamers, but a very big international community).

And then there's people like me who read the thread title and came in pre-disposed towards incredulity, noted that the title was completely in-context, and thought "Wow. That's messed up."

Maybe I was a little general with my post though, so I apologise for that.
Yay! You're not a troll! That makes me happy, somehow. In that case, I apologize if I came off as unduly harsh.
