The Xbox 360 console seemed to be one of the hot products of the last Xmas shopping seanson, right behind the iPod. Well, it did pretty well, but contrary to its biggest competitor, Apple, Microsoft fell short of the expected revenue for its game box.According to the Inquirer, Microsoft was able to sell only 600,000 Xbox 360s. The total goal for 2006 is 4.5 million units. The deceptive numbers for the last year are partially due to logistics problems.
The situation now gets even harder for Microsoft, since the new console will have to compete head to head with Sony's new console. As is well know that Microsoft looses money on each unit, the future of the Xbox gets a little darker with this news.
