Microsoft wants everyone to know that the Xbox 360 is the first game console in the current generation to sell 10 million units in the USA. Unsurprisingly, they don’t mention that the Nintendo Wii will likely pass the 10 million mark by the beginning of June and it has been on the market one year less than the Xbox 360.
