Microsoft corporate VP Peter Moore rapped up another stellar keynote speech at the CES show in Las Vegas yesterday. As usual, his inspired use of words and unabashed praise for all things Microsoft made him more entertaining than your average company executive.
During the speech, Moore shed light on Microsoft's estimated shipping numbers, stating that the company estimates shipping 4.5 million Xbox 360s between now and June. "[Xbox 360] became more than a product; it became a global sensation that put us well on our way to becoming the fastest selling console in history," he said.
Finding an Xbox 360 might be a difficult feat at the moment, but that looks set to change soon. Moore took the opportunity to announce a new partnership with manufacturer Celestica, which early next month will join other companies in churning out Xbox 360s. Hopefully this means we will see an increased availability of the console on stores shelves
"The coming year is one that will forever be remembered as a pivotal year in games and entertainment history." Moore said. "Consumers will demand more of us than ever before, they will want more high definition entertainment, more connectivity, and more choice. The rate of change will be incredible and we will be at the forefront of this change."
