Microsoft with fetching a lot of profit after selling more than 10.4 M worldwide by the end of 2006 but now it seems quite impossible for the software giant to reach the huge 13-15M units sales target by this March.

Commenting on latest portal status of the company, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell has stated that he is cutting unit sales projections for Xbox360 game consoles for the Q1, 2007, by as much as 3M units. Its mean that Microsoft has set new lowered target of 12M or something similar and will have to file the total transaction of 1.6M or more for the quarter in succession.

The sales of Xbox360 was on a high because the next-gen battlefield was a smooth pasture and as the holiday season worked up the comprehensible trajectory of xbxo360 began to come a tad bumpy and finally with both the rivals (Wii and PS3) in the combat zone led Microsoft to a first and foremost setback with hampering the previously set sales target. Now the difficulties are mounting for Microsoft as the Wii is selling good and while PS3 selling average or less is plaguing the sales of Xbox360 and this is just start of hurdles for xbxo360 that will go on swelling with the passage of time.
