Microsoft on Tuesday announced that sales of its Xbox 360 video game console hit 28 million units by the end of 2008, a year that the company described as the console's "biggest ever." Microsoft also made the dubious claim that it has "expanded the product's lead" over rival Sony PlayStation 3, all while ignoring market leader Nintendo Wii, which has a wide and unassailable lead over the other two consoles.
"2008 will be remembered around the world as a pivotal growth year for Xbox at retail and online, even in the face of tough economic conditions," said Microsoft senior vice president Don Mattrick.
