SEATTLE - Microsoft said on Wednesday its Xbox 360 game machine beat Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 to reach 10 million units in U.S. sales.

"History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle," said Don Mattrick, a Microsoft senior vice president who heads the company's Xbox business, in a statement. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

The Xbox 360 was the first of this latest generation of game machines to launch in the United States when it was released in November 2005. The PS3 and Wii were launched in the United States a year later.

They couldn't beat Nintendo to 10 million worldwide, so then it changes to "first to 10 million IN NORTH AMERICA".

Perhaps if Nintendo had beat them there as well, the goal would have changed to "first to 10 million ON THE MOON". This would then be followed by 10 million Xbox360s being hastily placed in crates marked "Space Ice Cream".

It has everywhere else, but is still a few hundred thousand behind in the US. Baring a huge spike in Xbox360 sales, the Wii will pass it either this month of the next.

Wii had that huge 'shortage' for a while and its already really close to 360. Wii Fit will put it over the top.

I hate Wii Fit. You cant discuss it with people cause theyre distinguished mentally-challenged and think it actually helps you, when its really just a block you lean against while staring at horrible graphics.
