Microsoft is aiming to shift 10 million Xbox 360s worldwide in its first year on sale, according to a top executive.
Speaking at the ELSPA International Games Summit today in London, Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing, said that his target was to sell 10 million 360s around the world in the "first 12 to 16 months of launch."
The Xbox 360 is expected to launch across the globe this November, although Microsoft is yet to announce an official date.
To put Moore's figure into context, it took three years for Microsoft to sell 20 million Xboxes worldwide. Moving 10 million in a single year would be a stunning feat for the company and would truly signal Microsoft's arrival as a true competitor to Sony's dominance.
But it's not impossible - last year alone, Sony shifted 16 million PS2s around the world.
Moore's comments also suggest that the 360's pricepoint will be aggressive enough to encourage consumers to buy the console at launch. Xbox head honcho J Allard has suggested a 360 price "in the neighbourhood" of $299, around £160.
In contrast, the original Xbox came with a prohibitive pound;299 pricetag in the UK, which quickly dropped as sales stalled.
It's not the first time Microsoft execs have chucked staggering numbers around. At Microsoft's pre-E3 conference it was claimed that the console would touch 'one billion people' by ushering in the HD era.
