Spartan_X Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 December NPD data is in I just got off the plane from CES, and got an email with the December NPD data. It looks like the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 and the Wii combined last month. In addition Xbox 360 grabbed 51% market share in the United States for December 2006. I also found out that Gears has sold 3?million copies. I also saw some new Xbox Live data: we have 5 million active members, two-million messages crossing the network each day, and we have three-billion game play hours logged to date.Source:b> Major Nelson :devil:l::shifty:y::whistle:e: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
