News is surfacing with a number of facts and figures explaining how the 360 is performing these days.  First off, there is word that Microsoft has managed to sell approximately 3.2 million units thus far.  The breakdown by region for this number is 1.8 million 360s in North America, 1.1 million in Europe, and 300,000 in the rest of the world.

That in mind, Microsoft is now raising its predicted sales numbers to 5-5.5 million systems sold by year's end.  With the delay of the PS3 until the Fall, Microsoft certainly has a better chance of achieving this now.

Interestingly, the company was also quick to note that despite only having a user base of a little over 3 million people, three of the top ten games sold in March were for the 360.

Not everything is rosy for the console, though, as Microsoft's Home and Entertainment division (which is responsible for the Xbox, and 360) continues to post consistent losses, now clocking in at $388 million for the quarter.
