360's financial future looking rosy
Xbox 360's latest financial numbers have been flying about for a few days now, like so many winged monkeys. As you can imagine, winged monkeys are sort of dangerous, difficult to understand. Thankfully, Robert Summa broke down the numbers (monkeys, remember) into easily understandable bits (like removing the monkey's wings). Now the numbers are safe for everyone (though somewhat disappointed, having lost the gift of flight). Things of note:
1.8 million 360's were shipped in the fourth quarter
5 million installed user base
10 million shipped by holiday 2006
Over 160 High Definition games by year's end.
Xbox Live has 3 million members
6 million Live members by this time next year
360 is the shizzle fo' rizzle*
The future looks bright indeed.

*This is not a real statistic, but it would be awesome to hear Peter Moore say "shizzle."
