Pretty amazing. I will say, I quit giving a crap about games about mid life of the PS2 and played Counter Strike only for years. Last year I got an Xbox 360 from a co-worker for 150 bucks that was almost brand new. I have played the hell out of it, between Dead Rising, Call of Duty 4 (now 5), and Left 4 Dead. It takes a lot to admit I was wrong (as I denounced the Xbox and next-gen consoles pretty heavily sans the Wii for its innovation), but I was definitely incorrect. The XBOX 360 is a great console and has actually renewed my faith in some games (specially new[er] FPS).
Anywho, thats my life's 360 story. Good to hear it has now outsold the Original and is planned to continue boosting sales for this holiday.
In other news, Left 4 Dead is probably one of the funnest arcade-style shooter I have played in years. You should go buy it if you haven't already - the replay value of that game is fantastic - it just doesn't get old even after I've done all the campaigns.
