Microsoft is also dropping something of a bomb at the show. Jim Brady, a spokesman for Microsoft, said Gates and Bach will say in the keynote speech Sunday night at the Venetian Hotel that the Xbox 360 will be able to serve as a set-top box for IPTV, or Internet protocol television. The details on this announcement are sketchy and Brady says only that it will appear later this year.

Certainly reinforces the bigger HDD version from the other thread.

10.4m - target exceeded, by a bit. Shipped, of course.

Watch, NPD will announce they've sold ~1 million in December. What they've shipped means nothing, since any they've shipped before the end of the year will only takes away from 1H07 sales.

10 Million systems before competitors even hit the market, or something like that.

It's not their original goal, but it's nice.

Blasphemy!

Yes, it's shipped. MS has always reported shipped. Probably closer to ~8m sold.

Don't all other corporations in this home video game console business do the same thing. I mean, it's only for your company's own good.

If you were in charge of a corporation like this, wouldn't you do the same thing? I would. Sony does it, Microsoft does it, Nintendo does it.

Just wait, I'm going to be quoted and someone's going to tell me what a dumb@$$ I am and how I don't know anything. I'm ready.

I think that was the goal early this year, which they definately missed. However, as of the end of June (when their fiscal year ended) it was revised to 10m by end of year. So that's been the publicly stated, oft-reiterated goal for six months now. Where have you guys been? :p

They could always claim the Wii is after a different marketplace and the PS3 is too supply-limited to count. Thus they've "sold" 10 million before any "real" competition has appeared.

From that link:

The fiery-mouthed Moore from Microsoft tossed another taunt toward the competition today. Using the visibility of the opening keynote address at this week's ELSPA Games Summit, Moore predicted that Xbox 360 sales would reach 10 million units before the end of the console's first 16 months at retail.
