As Naruto would say, "Believe It"! Believe what you ask? Well, in a recent press release, Microsoft announced that out of the current generation consoles, the Xbox 360 is leading the pack with 19 million. Do I believe it? No actually, considering that the Nintendo
Wii is currently sitting on a sales record of next to 25 million, which pretty much contradicts Microsoft's little theory.
What I do believe how ever is that Microsoft soon released another statement reading
"Xbox 360 has the largest global install base of any current gen high definition gaming console, Wii excluded". Well fair enough, the Xbox 360 the highest selling
high definition console this generation, but since it's only in a two horse race against the Playstation 3, it really makes you wonder why they couldn't just say
"we are beating the PS3 :D".
That is what I believe m'kay.
