After only 20 months on the market it has sold 10.9 million Nintendo Wii consoles throughout the USA.

New Xbox 360 Dashboard Experience Installable On Hacked Xbox 360s

For people who have a hacked Xbox 360, it means they can actually install this and try it out for themselves, but risk brickage in the process. This reminds us of the story of the tortoise and the hare, except instead of animals you have super nerds that want to install stuff months too early. [Xhavok87 via Xbox Scene]
