Microsoft Corp. said on Sunday it has shipped 1.1 million units of its new video game console, the Xbox, to retailers, with at least 300,000 more to be shipped by the end of this month. The software giant, which has declined to say how many units of the Xbox have actually been sold since its Nov. 15 launch, has said it planned to ship between 1 million and 1.5 million units to North American retailers this calendar year.
The company had initially said it would have 600,000 units to 800,000 units on day one, but then said it could not be sure, and has since declined to say how many it had at launch. Analysts have estimated launch shipment at around 300,000 units.
