So a product which recently got a brand new release outsold a product which is over 7 years old, costs twice as much, has already sold 65 million units and only loosely competes in the same market? Cool.

Weirdly all these points were made in the article, but they still went with the linkbait headline.

This is probably more because new Xbox360 sales are going to be low.

It's been out long enough that the majority of the people who want a 360 already have one.

There's also going to sufficient on the second hand market to cater to demand from people who want them.

Only tangentially related, but is the new Apple TV a better but than an HTPC if you hack it to run Plex? It's attractively inexpensive but I can't be tied to what I have in my iTunes library.
