Xbox 360 approaches 76 million sales

An updated sales chart from the Redmond giant notes that it has sold 75.9 million Xbox 360 consoles. The estimate is up from 70 million units reported in October 2012.

The new sales chart also notes 40 million Xbox Live members, which is unchanged from the previous report on its usage from Microsoft several months ago. As of November 2012, Sony was reported to have shipped 70 million PS3 consoles around the world.

Microsoft is expected to officially announce its next-generation Xbox very soon, possibly in March, while Sony is expected to at least offer a peak at the PS4 later this month.
