Microsoft has announced sales of the Xbox 360 console will top one million units in Australia within the next few months.

Jeremy Hinton, the firm’s group category manager, said to Gamespot: “We [Microsoft] expect to hit a million Xbox 360 consoles sold across Australia and New Zealand by the end of this year.

“We’ve just hit 700,000 consoles sold in Australia, and we’re now finding that it’s the fastest growing console down under. We’re confident we can reach this goal with the console’s current price point and the new experiences we’re bringing through Xbox Live such as Movies on Demand, Facebook and Twitter.”
