"Microsoft touts 30 million Xbox 360s sold,"

"30 million Xbox 360s sold,"

"Xbox 360s sold,"

"sold,"

Additionally, if you 'return' your RROD360 to Microsoft... You get it back...

I'm hoping that you're legitimately confused rather than an idiot.

This is typical of *any* hardware maker, it's not Microsoft being evil (unless they're stuffing the channel, but that's probably not happening this time of year). Nintendo's numbers will also include replacement Wiis, and Sony's will include replacement PS3s.]]>May 29th 2009 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/
The numbers of which are likely *miniscule* compared to the number of replacement 360s. So Microsoft's padded numbers (if they indeed include RROD replacements, likely a vast number) still get destroyed by the big N.

and tv's usually last longer consoles are not that innovative they are becoming more like computers now a days]]>May 28th 2009 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 29th 2009 6:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/
At my work we have a lot of gaming computers (xbox 360s, ps3, wii, and the handheld stuff), and 90% of the games we play here are the xbox stuff: halo 3 teamgames, CoD4 team games, etc.

Ever since I started playing with the new one, I've slowly started wanting one, and I came quite close to buying one this week, but while wandering around the store, thinking if I should spring for it, pondering all the RRoD stories, and thinking about how annoyingly loud they are, I came across an extra controller for my little old xbox! So I'm keeping my old one around for another year or so, I believe.

Anyway, long yammering post and boring story aside: How can anyone stand the loudness of the 360? My old xbox was loud, I did replace the fan with a more silent one (a nasty operation, as they use a 70mm fan.. and I replaced it with an 80mm one), but the few things I've read online about silencing the 360 seem even more complicated.

Now with the launch of some VOD services for it (which is great), I'm really quite perplexed how people expect to enjoy watching a move with the xbox blaring away under their tv?]]>May 29th 2009 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/
btw- 360's been out for almost 4 years... i don't think the Xbox 720 or whatever will be out for at least another 2-3. these consoles were supposed to have a much longer lifecycle. the PS3's is supposed to be something ridiculous like 10 years(?).

either way, ctfd. go buy a 360 and enjoy your face.]]>May 29th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 29th 2009 11:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/
It's like a race car that had a head start of a whole 5 minutes than the others, of course it will be ahead.

I hate it when the fanboys keep touting PS3 superior "firepower". Face it douche bags, nobody cares how awesome your GPU is, it's all about the games. Or else how do you explain the Wii?]]>May 28th 2009 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/
So it all depends on where your coming from, what types of games you like, if your will benefit from a blu-ray player, if you have a decent computer to play games on, if you don't mind paying fifty dollars a year for online. I just don't believe that there is a definitive winner so far this generation, and I think in the end it will be even closer than it is now. The only definitive winner of this generation is the consumer. ]]>May 28th 2009 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/I do go through PS3 section every time i went to a gamestore and the titles selection are woeful. Every good game on PS3 is avail on X360 (and in some cases better on 360, like GTA). And their exclusives is just not good enough. I'm sorry but I played MGS on my mates system and I'm not impressed.
People still talking about PS3 got strong library/selections coming up... and that's all I kept hearing about... coming soon, coming soon. What about NOW?!! Sometimes having free stuffs is meaningless unless you have someone to play with (strength of Live).
I dont consider myself a fanboy as I owned all dreamcast/PSone/N64, PS2/Xbox/gamecube and now X360/wii/PS3 (of all those, only PS2, X360 and wii is still in my possession). But right now PS3 just doesn't justify it's existent in my console cabinet... again.

But make no mistake, I'll buy the PS3 again when GT5 comes out. ]]>May 29th 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/May 28th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/28/microsoft-touts-30-million-xbox-360s-sold-20-million-xbox-live/

HomeBrew = increase in sales and increase in profits but when backup loaders and iso loaders are made thats when you see developers stop developing and dramatically decrease in game sales (PSP).When sales on games go down console makers take a huge hit since that's where they get most of their revenue not on the actual console.
