Comments on: Three million Xbox 360s in three months?

That number should translate to about $1.5 billion in sales of consoles, games and accessories, company exec says.

According to many other articles, this thing was so rushed so bad to meet the annouced release date, that I don't think I wan't to get one right away.
I'd wait a bit for them to fix up some bugs, and the first games were also rushed and may be full of glitches.

XBOX 360

I brought my original XBox the first Friday after the launch and i will be in line to pick my new XBox 360 up at midnight on the 22nd. I hope to pick it up with out too much of a crowd, I have to work the next day.

Wait for the first price cut.

I know I am. I'll only have to wait a year. Maybe, by then, it will have the HD-DVD in it, and my PS3 will have the Blue-Ray, and I'll be set for the future movies.

HD-DVD & BLU-RAY NON ISSUES

I wouldn't worry about the movie playing capabilities of either machine. The original PS2 was a 3rd rate dvd player at best. The XBOX was better but didn't support progressive scan output. Don't get caught up in the hype of the next gen consoles movie playing capability. By the time Hi-def movies become a mainstream market both the PS3 and xbox-360 will be about 3-4yrs into their lifecycle. At that point there will be better cheaper HD players on the market and the format wars will be over. HD-DVD and BLUE-RAY will have very little impact on the quality of the games on either system.

I don't like consoles but...

I'm gonna get an XBox 360... too much of a good thing for so little of a price.

Now, I hope that when I say Halo 3 is coming, that I am right :)

"Microsoft remains on track to hit that goal"

How can they be "on track" when the train hasn't even left the station yet?

I guess I'm still "on track" to get my PhD by the time I turn 50, got a few more years to START working on it! :)

Same old redundant games

Unless I see a totally different AAA game than just same old Halo and all those redundant EA sports games, I'm not going to get an XBox360.
It seems that the majority will buy the XBox360 just to play Halo 3.
Halo 3 is just like Half-Life 2, a story-line mixed into the gameplay. And the multiplayer is simply Quake 3 Arena. This is 2 years old technology.
Most of the new PC multiplayer shooter games have adopted the objective type gameplay where you have to build or blow up obstructions to advance further into enemy territory. Probably have to wait until Halo 4 for that to happen which most likely won't happen until 2008.

Where have they talked about Halo 3?

I haven't seen much said about Halo 3 yet. Not saying your wrong, just wondering where you got your information.

And all these sales....

... probably will reduce MS's loss to about 3.8 Billion dollars. At
least, it's a start toward some sort of profit.
