Xbox 360 has generated more than $56 billion in retail

4.6
Microsoft has sold 67 million Xbox 360 consoles since its launch in 2005, raking in more than $56 billion at retail. Kinect has sold 19 million units and Xbox Live has 40 million members, leaving us to question what the remaining 27 million people are doing with their Xboxes if they aren't downloading games or watching video on Amazon Instant, a service announced and rolled out just today.

It would appear the current generation of gaming consoles has sustained itself on its broader entertainment options, and Xbox 360 sales have increased from years four to five, five to six and six to seven, as the above graph indicates.

"The more entertainment options we add, the more time people spend on Xbox," Microsoft said.

MaFiAAnthony Intresting to see xbox still hasnt made a console since 05.. COME ON ALREADY


You mean Microsoft?

There is no need to make a new console. Why fix something that isn't broken? The current Xbox is sufficient for almost all games on the market right now.

Learn to be patient.

No why not make a console that can do MMO games. Or even massive servers. Why not make a console with atleast a good old GTX 570 in there. I want to play BF3 with maxed settings and 64 players online. Sure it will be expensive but it will be amazing.


Play PC, problem solved. I completely agree with the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." You're just a whiny brat that won't be satisfied with anything.

I already have a gaming PC. I am just saying that it would be nice if they made a bit of an update.
