To hear Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates tell it, there's the Xbox 360 and then there's everything else. The world's richest man is in Las Vegas this week for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and one of the facts he touted during his keynote address Sunday night was that Microsoft exceeded its goal of shipping 10 million Xbox 360s by the end of 2006. Given its year-long head start over the competition and the lackluster showing of Sony's PlayStation 3 during the holidays, Gates says the Xbox 360 is now in lead market position.
"I'm very excited about the progress we've made to become the leader in this next generation of gaming," Gates said.
