Xbox 360 has been on a roll ever since the launch of the Kinect camera, continually outselling the competing consoles, and that trend has continued in March. Responding to the March NPD report, Microsoft noted that it sold 433,000 Xbox 360 units, which made the platform the number one selling console in March (although DS was the number one platform overall).
These sales numbers represent 28% growth for the Xbox 360, which Microsoft said is "the largest growth of any current generation console on the market." Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 reached $457 million for the month, which is also the highest among current generation consoles.
"Microsoft expects this momentum to continue throughout 2011. In the coming months, Xbox 360 owners can look forward to the arrival of Kinect-enabled Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as a diverse catalog of new games," the company said.

I think you'll find that this is untrue " In the coming months, Xbox 360 owners can look forward to the arrival of Kinect-enabled Netflix and Hulu Plus" as only gamers in the USA will have those features, as far as i'm aware people in Europe can't use netflix or HULU!!
Yet another update that forgets that residents in the UK and Europe play games on the Xbox 360 aswell :-(

The 360 is doing pretty good considering how weak it's 2011 game lineup has been so far(in comparison to the unbelieveably stacked lineup it had for the entire year of 2010). I hope E3 brings some big announcements of more games to come this year.
