Microsoft to reach Xbox 360 shipment goals

Microsoft on Wednesday said that it will reach its goal of shipping over 10 million Xbox 360 video game consoles to retailers by the end of 2006, giving it a commanding lead in the next generation video game market. But the Xbox 360 has what is, perhaps, an even more important lead over the competition from Sony and Nintendo: There are over 160 game titles available for the Xbox 360, compared to just a handful each for the PlayStation 3 and Wii. And some of those titles, like "Gears of War," are already considered absolute classics by video game fans. Neither the PS3 nor the Wii has yet to attract such a title.
