It looks like Microsoft hit their fiscal year goal for the Xbox 360. The company said today that they sold about five million Xbox 360s in the fiscal year that just ended, with 1.8 million shipping during the fourth quarter. The company "restated" their goal for Xbox 360 sales early this year, saying they wanted to sell between 4.5 and 5 million of the nifty white consoles.
One goal down, now can Microsoft hit the lead over the Playstation 3 that Bill Gates set for them at this year's E3? And I quote:
"We will have a ten million unit headstart with the Xbox 360"
That means ten million Xbox 360s by mid-September or, as I like to say when I hit the casinos, they're gonna have to double down in less than three months. I'm thinking they can't even manufacture that many.
I'm thinking that the best they can hope to do is to hit seven to eight million if they're lucky and that's nothing to sneeze at.
