When Will Microsoft Own Up to the XBox 360 Bomb?

360 has sold at least 8-9 million worldwide..NPD figures say 5.3m for th USA. Now add Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and a few for the rest of the world.

PS3 has never outsold 360 in US. Worldwide, it's tough to make a case also. PS3 sales are so low in Japan that when you combine Japan+USA, 360 is still outselling PS3, although barely. So you'd just have to guess at EU sales, which I'm sure PS3 won last month, but I dont know that they'll win going forward.

"Third place in market share". [Not Really]. A solid first place worldwide, despite that Japan refuses to buy it for petty reasons. Sure, Wii will overtake 360 in WW sales soon enough, PS3 however, probably never will.

Microsoft can do what they want with their money. If you dont like it, Robbie Bach said go invest elsewhere. BTW, since Sony is already 2+ billion in the hole, shouldn't they also go pay their shareholders instead of these hare-brained videogame schemes? Oh wait, that somehow never applies to Sony..

I've already covered in irrefutable detail how 360 is doing great and and I'm sure MS is very pleased with it. Any profits made from it are just icing on the cake, yet the system will likely be profitable when all is said and done.
