Kudos to Microsoft, which has tricked more people into buying the Xbox 360 then it did the original Xbox. Redmond has sold—well, is projected to sell through the end of this month—some 25 million Xbox 360s. It took the original Xbox, which launched in late 2001, five years to reach that number. Meanwhile, the plucky little 360 will hit that number a mere three years after its own late 2005 launch.
What I’d like to know: how many of these 25 million Xbox 360s are re-purchases as a result of the red ring of death? Like I said before, if my current Xbox 360 dies there’s no chance in hell I’d get another one. I’ll move exclusively to emulators—the older games are better anyway—and WoW.
It’s good to see that console move so many units! I think the same is going to be said about the Motorola Krave. I’ve been a fan of the Krave ever since I started working with Motorola (motorola.com/krave). I especially like the touch screen display and 2 megapixel camera. It’s definitely worth checking out.

Around $1,000,000,000.00 USD worth, if that 25 mil counts Microsoft’s replacements.
It didn’t take the original that long. They stopped producing them before the 360 was released in November ‘05. This is only about six months faster, in all reality.

Nicholas Deleon, how I hate you!
Seriously, you are a douche who only bitches about products you do not like and endlessly talk about World of Warcraft. By far you are the worst writer on Crunchgear.
I completely agree with Kyle… He’s by far the worse writer… Please go work at the post office or something, you can bitch and moan all you want there..
