Mircosoft Gets The Last Holiday Laugh
For all the attention giving the launch of the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 this holiday season, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 would move the most units to close out 2006 according to research firm IDC.
2 million 360s were sold from November to Christmas while Nintendo sold 1.8 million Wiis and Sony sold about 750,000 PS3s.
It may never be determined how those numbers would be changed without the numerous supply and manufacturing problems Nintendo and Sony experienced. Sony still holds 60% of the console market with the Playstation brand, however, Microsoft and Nintendo may chip away at the lead with these sales number in the new-gen.
