While the supposed shortages continue, the Xbox 360 still manages to perform well in any other area beyond hardware.  For the second consecutive month, the Xbox 360 remained last in consoles sold with 255,000 in February.  However, that didn’t stop the software machine from dominating another Top 10 in software sales.

Microsoft also shared their take on February’s sales below which includes an impressive 9.6 million installed base here in North America that outshines the competition by a good margin.  Check out the numbers and then read up on a few more tidbits concerning the Xbox 360.
