MSFT) even need to

NTDOY) recent release of its next-generation home video game console, the
Xbox 360 racked up its twenty-sixth consecutive month as the top-selling console in the world in February. U.S. sales totalled 302,000 units according to The NPD Group’s February data, placing the Xbox ahead of Sony’s (
SNE) PlayStation 4 and both the Wii and
Wii U. The Xbox 360 holds an estimated 41% share of the current-generation console market in the U.S.
