XBox 360 Sales Announced

An independent group has released their figures and it looks like 600,000 XBox 360s have been sold so far. Being that it is now 2 months since the release of the system and part of the sales time included Christmas, I think there is a very low possibility of Microsoft reaching their goal of selling 5.5 to 6 Million units before July 1st. The XBox 360 release will be studied by many business classes in the coming years to show how not release a new product. If you are going to release a new product in time for the Christmas season, you need to have the ability to produce them at a fast enough pace to at least satisfy 50% of the demand by Christmas. I'm sure many people got PSPs this Christmas instead of the XBox 360 and in many cases, are happier for it.
