Microsoft ships 30 million Xbox 360 units

Xbox 360 sales have surpassed more than 30 million units globally, said Microsoft yesterday. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 numbers are still way behind Wii but is ahead of PS3, who saw a sale of around 23 million units until the end of March.

MS is also elated about the fact that their thriving Xbox LIVE community has now more than 20 million active members. Xbox 360’s New Xbox Experience is the reason why the activity has increased since its launch. They have recorded an increase of more than 136 percent in members.

The console figures could see a further surge if Microsoft launches the rumored motion sensing controller at E3.
