the number could exceed 100 million within years (see below).

The Next Generation Game Consoles

| The majority of the original 24 million Xbox consoles are only a few
| years old, while far more of the 111 million PlayStation 2 users are
| ready to upgrade, given that their boxes are now several years old.
|
| Still, Microsoft has only sold 6 million of the new Xbox 360s in the
| last year, which isn't an improvement over the pace of the first Xbox, a
| nd certainly not impressive given that, for the last year, it has only
| been competing against the old PlayStation 2.
