Microsoft has said today it believes that 25 million more Xbox 360s can be sold before the end of the console's life.
The company wants to hit 100 million, despite launching the new Xbox One later this year.
Currently, there has been an estimated 77 million consoles sold globally since launch in 2005.
Interactive Entertainment Business Senior VP Yusuf Mehdi says Microsoft has a 5 year plan for the 25 million consoles sold. This could be a possibility, of course, but not with current prices. If Microsoft were to drop the 360 to $99, that may change.
To get consumers excited, Microsoft is planning a "huge announcement" for E3 which should include a complete dashboard refresh but may include a new version of the hardware, as well.
In regards to the Xbox One, Mehdi says the focus on entertainment and TV could lead to over 300 million sales.
