Microsoft's community man Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb has reconfirmed that a total of 57 million Xbox 360 units have been sold worldwide since it's release in 2005.
Posting via Twitter this weekend, Hryb said: "Just saw a new sales figure that I though you would like: Xbox 360 has sold more than 57 million units worldwide."
Sony last week announced 56 million sales for PS3 worldwide, shrink the once considerable gap to just a million sales.
PS3 launched almost exactly a year after Xbox 360 and 16 months later in Europe.
