Smashing Xbox sales 
Microsoft announced today they smashed through an important milestone in Europe, 5 million Xbox's sold.
Posted by John Grothier - Xbox - UK and Europe

Microsoft announced that their Xbox console has sold five million consoles since the European launch in March 2002. Through the December quarter, Xbox sold 19.9 million consoles worldwide since launch - 13.2 million consoles in North America, 5.0 million consoles in Europe, and 1.7 million consoles in the Japan and Asia Pacific region.

"The five million console milestone is a major one, and proves that our strategy of offering consumers exactly what they wanted is the right one," said Neil Thompson, Director of UK home and entertainment division. "We are looking forward to seeing our strong position in the market going from strength to strength, and we're right on track to hit our worldwide shipment goal of 21-22 million units by the end of June 2005. Xbox offers more power than any other console on the market, a killer games portfolio including the already-classic Halo 2, and broadband built in from launch for instant online gaming with Xbox Live - an irresistible proposition. The choice gamers had to make at Christmas was a tough one but the numbers show that Xbox was the first choice for a significant number of people."
