"The Xbox 360 has sold more than 70 million units worldwide since its release in 2005. Microsoft announced the milestone during its quarterly earnings report, stating that it shifted a further 1.7m during the period in question.   The platform holder generated revenue of $1.95 billion (\u00A31.2bn) during the quarter, despite selling some 600,000 fewer consoles that it did during the same period last year.
