360 outsells original Xbox console
Microsoft has confirmed that the 360 has now overtaken the original Xbox in terms of console sales.

Microsoft previously predicted that the 25 million sales milestone would be reached by the end of November, but a spokesperson told MCV that the firm has already achieved the feat.

"We’ve already surpassed the installed base of the original Xbox – which is a really significant milestone. We’ve been blown away by the appetite of people to consumer digital entertainment experiences," said Chris Lewis, VP of interactive entertainment business for EMEA.

360 sales have enjoyed a worldwide increase following a combination of price cuts and marketing campaigns.
