Xbox 360 surpasses original Xbox sales: 25 million units served

Well VGChartz.com is reporting 1.83mil less... Maybe by the end of the year they could reach the 25 million milestone.

And yeah if you include RROD, banned and modded yes. the number can get this high.

time for a 360 slim version:)

I believe the PS2 analogy has nothing to do with amount of sales, but rather that in this generation, the 360 is the lead platform for third party development, has more (quality) games that are easier and cheaper to produce than it's competition in the PS3 (which sees it more indie and budget--not necessarily crap--titles), and has shipped more units based on it's merits as a gaming system.

RROD = Next-Gen Disc Read Error anyone?

Of course I couldn't leave that out.

However, the Wii isn't even a part of this generation. Sorry, I said it. It's a product of the last gen plus waggle, and in the eyes of the public, it's more of a hot item, a fad, a toy than seen as a true gaming platform. THAT is what makes it so successful. In an age where games are becoming more and more ambitious, outside of Nintendo and the occasional Capcom effort, no dev is really looking at the Wii platform as a means of advancing the way games are played. It's providing unique spins on what we've known and loved for years, but we'll never see something as aurally or visually engaging as Dead Space or Bioshock, nothing to advance an online community and infastructure like Halo 3 or Resistance 2, and certainly no game worlds as vast and alive as GTA's Liberty City or Fallout 3's post apocalyptic Washington D.C. All the sales in the world can't fix that.

Or make it any less a joke to someone who owns a 360/PS3 in addition to it.

It's that simple.

tl;dr, I know. Apologies.

deserved

The DS is the PS2 of this era.
