How many Xbox 360's have really sold??

[Dillweedshake]

I'm confused about the total sales, some(including an artcle at are very own,VGcore) are saying 4.5 to 5 million but microsoft said today that they already sold 6 million world wide!

Microsoft released today its first fiscal quarter earnings report, beating Wall Street estimates. The software girant announced a revenue of $10.81 billion for the period ended September 30, 2006, an 11% increase over the same quarter of the prior year.

The company informed that the revenue of its Entertainment and Devices Division, which includes the Xbox business unit, growth of 70% over the prior year, driven by demand for Xbox 360 console, games, peripherals, and Xbox Live.

The report revealed that the Xbox 360 has sold 6 million consoles worldwide life to date and achieved record cumulative attach rates for software and peripherals in the United States, while Xbox Live passed the four million member mark during the quarter.

Yah, it appears that analyst had bunk information on biz.yahoo. Hey, I know, why don't you post this yourself! Or are you forgetting that you are in position as a News Journalist?

EDIT: Actually, reading the article, the analyst states that the sales are for THIS YEAR. The article you posted reports 6 million units LIFE TO DATE. The analyst isn't wrong.
