I just read that the xbox 360 will be sold in China next year.....dunno what % of people are predicted to buy, but with over 1.3 BILLION people in that country, even if 0.5% of them bought one, that would be over 6 million xbox 360's.
Check out an audio/video presentation of the new Nintendo Revolution controller in action. Click here.

How Specter became a Princess Warrior....
....Look for the vid in the Halo 2 'Various' section.

Check out IGN's great looking in-game footage of Call of Duty 2 on the 360. clck here for the developer interview plus in-game footage. (good audio of soldiers shouting heightens the gameplay - also check out the smoke effect at the 1m41s mark.

Added picture to the xb360 photo gallery of Project Gotham Racing 3 - showing a crowd of 35000 on one corner of the track - all individually moving and reacting, all motion captured and according to the game's developers, without causing a hint of slowdown in the game - it'll take a while for us to get used to seeing (& believing) this kind 'next-gen' power in a game.
