Microsoft’s Mindy Mount, CFO of the Entertainment and Devices Division, is confident that the Xbox 360 will overtake the original Xbox by the end of November. Speaking at the BMO Capital Markets conference, she said that Xbox 360 will reach 25 million sold this month, which shows the momentum of the Xbox brand. It took the original Xbox over five years to hit that mark, but the 360 is on track to reach this milestone in about three years.

Mount continued, saying that the 25 million mark is “only a start” because console sales typically fare even better once they’ve reached lower price points, such as the Arcade SKU’s recent price cut down to $199. “History shows that more than three quarters of console sales come at a price of $199 or lower,” she noted.
