Xbox 360 to hit 2 million in UK “next week”
According to this, Chart-Track figures show that Xbox 360 is about to pass the 2 million mark in the UK.
Dorian Bloch, director of UK sales monitor Chart-Track, said, “We are very close to clocking through 2 million 360s in the UK. It should be next week.”
Bloch added: “The Xbox 360 is extremely well-liked in the UK and very strong. Sony has a long way to go to overtake it in the UK.”
The news comes after a Europe-wide price cut for Xbox 360 was announced on March 10.

Are they also going to point out that the PS3 has done over a million in the UK already?

Not really fussed about sales figures anymore…
I play 360 COD4 almost every day with other gamers from a pool of over 1 million (apparently).
Which is more than enough competition for me…
So I don’t really care if the PS3 sells a kajillion.

I wish someone would post some more sales figures, frankly. The internet’s died.

Well done to them, btw. I didn’t mean to come over all frothy Sony fanboy there.

I get my kicks from facts and figures don’t you know?
And I like to whack off on the phone.
