According to Edge Online, Microsoft's entertainment & devices division CFO Mindy Mount told a conference: "By the end of this month, we expect our global installed base to reach 25 million units, surpassing that of the first Xbox."
Mount also suggested that the figure will rise significantly as three quarters of lifetime console sales are achieved once a machine is priced below $200.
360 console sales have risen 62% in Europe, 42% in the US and 500% in Japan since Microsoft's September price cuts.
