Check Out These Numbers
It's no secret that the 360 has been pretty much sold out everywhere since November...so we know that Microsoft is clearly selling consoles, but how are the numbers exactly?

The following report is from Microsoft, courtesy of Gamerscore Blog:

* This quarter, we shipped 1.7 million Xbox 360 consoles, bringing our cumulative sales to date to 3.2 million consoles with 1.8 million in North America, 1.1 million in Europe and 300,000 in the rest of the world.
* During the third quarter, we extended Xbox 360's market leadership position with a presence in nearly 30 countries.
* According to NPD, our life-to-date attach for software and peripherals in the U.S. through Marchlinks was 4.5 and 3.0 per console respectively - higher than any other gaming console at this point in the lifecycle.
* Despite a relatively small installed base, three of the top 10 selling video games in the US in March were for the Xbox 360 platform.
* Attach rates on the Xbox Live service remain strong, with more than half of all Xbox 360 consoles sold connected to the service either via Silver or Gold tier memberships.
* Gamers have downloaded 10 million pieces of digital content from Xbox Live Marketplace in less than five months.
* Over 4 million downloads have been made from Xbox Live Arcade since launch.
* Because of our increased optimism and strong console shipments in Q3, we are tightening our previously announced fiscal year shipment guidance of 4.5 to 5.5 million consoles to 5.0 to 5.5 million consoles.
