Thursday, May 15th, 2008Historically the first console to reach 10 million units in sales wins the generation. While this generation feels completely different, mostly because the early guy (360) continues to be plagued by hardware issues, and the late guys (Wii and PS3) either started incredibly strong, or are finally starting to come on very strong, Microsoft is […]
