It's not updated to the latest months, but it's not like there was a huge surge in 360 sales, so you can extrapolate where the 360 is now.

Thanks for sharing those graphs, pretty interesting stuff. I think X360 sales will easily overcome original Xbox sales around September~November, especially when GoW releases. But yes, as many others have pointed out I think the main reason for its slow adoption is the "HD-price-tag" :p

Wow. Didnt they say they wanted to hit 10 million or something before PS3 hit the market?...

Yea it was "first to 10 million wins" as Mojo said and somewhere along the lines of ~3million before Sony ships.

Considering the massive shortage over the launch window (and beyond) and the fact that only 8 titles have been released since the beginning of May, the US numbers aren't too bad.

As far as how many consoles MS wants shipped by the PS3, it is actually 10 million. By the end of June, 5 million 360s had been shipped worldwide, so it'll take some heavy early holiday-buying action to reach their goal on time.

yeah I think it was 10 milliion shipped before the ps3 releases. they always expected to reach their first fiscal year sales which was like 5 million, I think they were assuming selling about million consoles a month after that until Nov-December which I think the actual sales are pretty close to that estimate. remains to be seen if they actually hit that number before the ps3 hits more than likely they'll hit it at the end of the year after Christmas. I do agree with something that an Xbox VP said before about the 360 being in the best position price point and software wise. when you compare a 199wii,(299/399)360 to a 499/599 ps3, it does almost seem like the ps3 has priced itself out of competition. so as far as system horse power and bang for the buck the 360 does enter the holiday shopping season at a very good spot. That said, part of me is starting to lean toward Nintendo come out #1 their release. it's just something about the Wii that I think might make it easily sell 10 million consoles without a doubt especially in Japan where Xbox will probably continue to be weak unless they get some exclusive FF and dragon quest going. However it remains to be seen if people are willing to play radical gaming on the console side like they'll play on the portable side with the DS, they are 2 different types of gaming in my eyes.

Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates today staked the claim that the Xbox 360? system will have 10 million-unit head startb> by the time the competition enters the market

There we go. Of course once PS3 and Wii launch, it'll be more like a 7-8 million lead, shipped.

Dominating! =O

so much for the thread about the xbox 360 selling out in japan. As i said in that thread, the stock must have been low to begin with (and it might have sold out in ONE store). But selling a little over 1000 console isnt anything to be proud of.....

^ LOL. Well it's not like Microsoft sent out a press release about it. Wasn't it just a simple picture taken by an anonymous commenter on a blog or something?

it was but everyone made it sound like the xbox was selling as much as the ps2 or ds or something lol

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
