Through September, NPD data shows that Xbox 360 hardware sales in the U.S.
were 2.7 million units. Wedbush expects monthly sales of 250,000 units in
October, 750,000 million units in November, and between 1.5 - 2 million
units in December. Wedbush comments: "Sell through of Xbox 360 hardware
could be higher if the supply situation for the PS3 falls well short of
demand, with many holiday gift givers likely substituting purchases of the
360 in place of the PS3."

It's also explained that the U.S. hardware installed base currently stands
at 14 million next generation consoles (including handhelds) as of the end
of September 2006 (up from 8 million at year end 2005).

The fiery-mouthed Moore from Microsoft has tossed another taunt toward the
competition. Using the visibility of the opening keynote address at the
recent ELSPA Games Summit, Moore predicted that Xbox 360 sales would reach
10 million units before the end of the console's first 16 months at retail.




At a mere 625,000 units per month, they will easily break the 10M mark in 16
months.
