Microsoft Says Half Of 360 Owners Didn't Buy Original Xbox

Pssst. Listen to this blurb from Microsoft's Chris Satchell:

We've sold 10.4 million, but the stat you may not have heard is that over half of those sales are from people that didn't own an Xbox 1... So there're lots of new people coming in, which kind of surprises you. What we're actually finding is that our customer set is broadening, which we think is important.​

Nevermind that Microsoft that publicly stated that "sold" means to retailers and not necessarily to end-users; Peter Moore explains, "'Sold' means that we're a wholesaler of hardware and we sell it to a retailer, and that's the important criteria." Nevermind that NPD puts the 360's US install base at 4 and a half million. We've got one better. Time for a comment thread love-in. Here's what I want to know:

• If you own a 360, did you also previously purchase an Xbox?

Clack those comments on your keyboard. That's what it's for. Brian Ashcraft
