    Eh... This doesnt quite make sense...

    Meanwhile, at the Microsoft press conference, Robbie Bach revealed that Microsoft have sold 10.4 million Xbox 360 consoles across 37 countries. "That's half a million units ahead of our projection", he said.

    Despite Microsoft's head start, many analysts are predicting that Sony will overtake it by selling 30 million consoles by 2011.
    What? So Microsoft has sold 10million consoles in a year and analysts say that Sony will over take by selling 30million over 5 years?! eh?!

    oh yeah, duh! Weird, I've seen a number of analysts saying that Sony will overtake MS, but you're dead right, that makes no sense at all.

    Edit: Hang on, it does make sense. They're not saying that Sony will sell over 10 million in the first year, only that in the long run they will sell more than M/S.

    But the numbers dont really add up... They saying even tho 10million 360's have been sold first year of release they will only sell <20million more over the next 5 years?!

    Also 5 years is a long time, I can see the next gen out by then
