In the U.S., in January, the console had another solid month, marking the 13th month in a row it was the top selling console in the country.
For the month, 270,000 360s were sold, good for 49 percent of all consoles sold. The figure was also the 11th time in a row that the Xbox accounted for over 40 percent of hardware sales.

I bought a used 1 for my daughter who plays on it an hour every other day or so. It is a nice macghine, but I like my PS3 for online games and other things. I guess I have a hard time in paying for a service that I get for Free from another. PS move is not that great. I have that now. |

I don't blame them since the nunchuck cord is too short and if it were both (Wiimote + Nunchuk) wireless than I might of enjoy the wii that I used to own.
