Coming a day after news that the Wii sold over 500,000 units on Black Friday, Microsoft has announced the Xbox 360 had an even more impressive sales performance last week. 960,000 consoles were sold in the United States alone last week, according to the company’s internal figures.
It’s a huge figure, good enough for Microsoft to call it the biggest sales week in the history of Xbox. 800,000 of those consoles were sold during a 24-hour span. Counting both bundles and standalone units, 750,000 Kinect sensors were sold during the week in the U.S.
