Microsoft: 11.6 Million Xbox 360s Sold
Microsoft: 11.6 Million Xbox 360s Sold
next-gen - September 20, 2007

Microsoft says that more than 11.6 million Xbox 360s have been sold to date, but which home console is leading the next-gen race? The figure makes for interesting reading. As of June, the platform holder said it had had shipped (not sold) 11.6 million Xbox 360s, but seemingly that batch has now been completely snapped up.

Microsoft's numbers don't make a whole lot of sense when you look at some of them. They're just throwing out a bunch of numbers, hoping it'll sound impressive (such as switching between US and worldwide data).
For instance, they claim that there are 6.3 games sold per 360 owner.
However, they state they've sold 24.3 million units of software in the US alone. If they've sold 6.3 games per console, they're claiming worldwide software sales of over 73 million. So 2/3rds of their software is sold outside of the US?[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

Considering that some of the games on there are free (the top download, Aegis Wing, being one of them) then the claim becomes empty. Anyone can give away free games and then claim a higher attachment rate.
