360 raging with software attach rate of 5.3 per unit photo

Holy crap. That is phenomenally impressive. And this is excluding XBLA titles, mind you. The Wii might be coming up really fast and the PS3 might have great potential for the future, but it's pretty clear who is leading the "console war" right now. Of course, the 360 has been out for a long time now, but a 5.3 attach rate is still impressive.

Moore affirmed that Gears of War plowed through the holidays selling over 2.7 million copies since its November release.

He also said that the Xbox Live community “has eclipsed 5 million members, with over half of all consoles connected.” Moore said that Microsoft is still on track to meet its goal of 6 million Live users by June 2007, the end of its 2007 fiscal year.

Got some catching up to do, Sony and Nintendo. Let's get those triple-A titles out and running, eh?

God Ishaan! Take a breather for a second before you post again! You're a mad man I tell yah, a mad man!

Also, I hear Peter Moore is never washing his hand again after shaking Ron's hand. He's been reported as calling the encounter a "religious experience".

It must be true because I own 5.3 games for my 360.

That is fucking huge attach rate dude. Especially only a year after its release, without the XBLA titles.

I thought the fiscal year begins/ends in March.

5 Million GOLD users or 5 million people including Gold, Silver and duplicate profiles?

Sorry, I had to!

BlindsideDork, it does actually include both Gold and Silver users. And I'm sure there some alternate accounts of people thrown in there too. I think I read somewhere that maybe half of that number is actual Gold members.

Hey Jaideep, I mean Ishaan, I pretty much thought it that way, except the whole personal penile problem. Is that typical? Maybe you should get it check. Also, good luck with the career. I tried to make a comic about my life. Turns out the only funny parts is the porn I make by my self.

Chris you need to get out more. All that Dell Support, they say too much of a good thing can kill you.

Heh, I didn't mean a funny comic. I'm leaning more towards something like the kind of work Image publishes. And if the porn you make by yourself includes a Storm Trooper outfit, I'm calling dibs.

I feel partly responsible for this. I buy way too many 360 games. I probably have 15 games for the thing, and I've beaten none of them. :P
