Microsoft Aiming for 10 Million 360's by Shane L at 15:48

Seem's Microsoft wants to sell 10 million consoles within the first 12-18 months after launch. A lofty goal indeed.

"The target of 10 million units gives tremendous momentum to a platform," said the Xbox executive during his keynote access at the Elspa (Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association) games summit in London

	Lofty is an understatement, I think a lot of people may wait for the PS3.

	I serisously believe the XBox will have better and more impressive games for a long time while developers get used to getting the best out of the CELL chip, if they ever do. Graphically, It already looks like the XBox has at least as much grunt. All that said and done, it's all really about the games, half a dozen kick ass XBox 360 games out by Christmas and it will sell very, very well.

	Still undecided myself, im sure Sony will have some kind of promotional video of whats due on the PS3 closer to the time of the 360 release.

	From what I've seen, although mostly just rendered stuff on the ps3, the ps3 seems to hav a fair ole edge on the 360. Wasn't really all that impressed with the 360 videos.

	pre-rendered stuff looks mint on anything, even a PS1. You can only compare real in-game footage and we haven't really seen much PS3 stuff yet.

	the 360 is my number one choice, after all halo dont work on the PlayStation i especially like the customisable playlists in every game (no more shitty songs)
