taken from ign...

Beyond the multiple bomb drops of game announcements, the Xbox braintrust pointed to past successes of Xbox as well as financial plans for the future in their effort to reaffirm the strength of the company and the platform The first European sales figures from Microsoft were announced with the company claiming 500,000 units sold in that territory along with an 88% attach rate for the all-powerful Halo. That's 440,000 copies of Bungie's breakthrough first person shooter for those of you slow on the math. In fact, Halo was leading the pack of top selling Xbox games along with the four other titles that sold more than 500,000 copies. All tolled, the Xbox could boast more than 20 titles that have seen sales of 100,000 copies or more compared to the ten 100,000+ titles for the GameCube over the first five months of each system's US run.

there you go...

also on ign...there's a list of xbox games announced...
COUNTERSTRIKE IS COMING TO XBOX (as is halo 2 and many other cool games)

Like they need a reason to attack another console. Just the fact that the X-Box is another rival console is reason enough to stamp their feet and soil themselves.

Nintendo have said that Microsoft lied about the 500,000 sales in Europe and that the figure is much lower than that...

Wonder who is telling porkies here....

No Sir.

Xbox sales figures seem to be 2 Million for the US.

add that to the 500,000 in Europe and somthin around 200,000 for Japan.

Just under 3 Million World wide...

GameCube has sold 1.5 Million in Japan. 2.2 Million in the US and sold 400,000 in its first week of Europe sales.

Totalling over 4 Million.
