For Microsoft, Q1, Q5, and Q9 are the quarters ending December. Given that Q1 was the supply constrained launch in 2005, and that the original Xbox only shipped 24.7m units worldwide, the Xbox 360 should top its predecessor next quarter.

It’s amazing that the 360 put up those type of numbers, but one has to think it was aided by the boneheaded decisions made by Sony with the PS3.
I think that just goes to show that people won’t pay what sony tells em!
