Xbox 360 group product manager Aaron Greenberg told Next-Gen in a phone interview Thursday following the release of March's NPD sales figures, "I think the battle for the core user is sort of over, if you will. We're heading now well beyond 20 million in console sales.
"I feel we've secured that core buyer, and that gives us quite a bit of an advantage versus PS3, which is late to the game and still at a price disadvantage relative to the Xbox."
Asked if his verdict is being doled out too soon, as big PlayStation 3 titles such as Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet and Gran Turismo 5 loom on the horizon, he asserted that Xbox 360 has indeed outdone PS3 in the core market.
"I think the type of audience that [Sony is] going after with many of those games, frankly, are Xbox 360 owners...They're trying to go after a consumer that has already bought an Xbox 360, which frankly has a much broader lineup with more titles and more exclusives. You could say that [Sony] showed up with too little, too late."
But even Greenberg will admit that on a global scale, the console war battleground is hotly contested, particularly in Europe, where the PlayStation brand, along with sales for Sony's console, remain strong.
"Without a doubt, Sony is a very formidable competitor in Europe, and they have entrenched themselves as an established brand, and we recognize that," he said. "But it's also part of the reason why we say Europe is the battleground territory for us this generation. So we've really double-downed our efforts there in marketing spend and our aggressiveness in that market."
Greenberg said Microsoft is forecasting Xbox 360's installed base in the US to be two- to three-times that of the PS3 by the end of 2008.
In addition, he said in the US and in EMEA territories, the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV has had more pre-orders than the PS3 version by a 2:1 margin. That game launches on April 29.

Monday afternoon, the Little Rock Fire Department responded to a fire that investigators say was caused by a popular video game console.
Millions of people own an Xbox and the newer upgrade the XBox 360, but many may not be aware of the possible fire dangers connected to the machines. Two people in Little Rock heard of the warnings only after their house nearly burned down.
Gamers like Carl Olson take playing video games seriously, some dedicating hours to it. "The average week probably a couple of days worth that's too much," says Olson.
Microsoft game consoles Xbox and its successor Xbox 360 are two of the more popular with millions of units sold world-wide, they're also possibly dangerous. "My XBox 360 has the rings of death, which means something gone wrong you have to send it back for repair. Generally it's over heating inside," explains Olson.
Monday, while no one was home at the Little Rock house on the 5000 block of Cantrell Road, it caught on fire. Flames charred the interior.
Little Rock Fire Department Captain Jason Weaver says investigators traced the source to the power cord of an Xbox 360. "It was melted and it looked like they had it against the wall in on edge and things like that need a little space to dissipate heat," explains Weaver.
This isn’t the first house fire that has been linked to Xbox. In 2005, the family of an Illinois infant who was killed in a fire sued Microsoft, and so did the family of a teen from Texas who was burned.
Also in 2005, Microsoft issued a recall of more than 14 million XBox power cords, citing fire concerns. It seems some gamers didn't get the memo or are just not taking the warning seriously.
"It seems really unlikely. I've been gaming for years and I haven't seen anything like that," guesses Olson.
Microsoft estimates the risk at 1 in 10,000 and recommends owners unplug the XBoxes. Other recommendations are to avoid bending the cords and store the units some place other than the floor to cut down on friction. All to make sure the dangerous action stays on the screen.
The fire Marshall estimates more than $100,000 worth of property damage at the house that caught fire in Little Rock.

News from The incredible boss
As long as I not yet have a final name for my mini game gallery, I call it project-x. A first game is already 'under construction' and I would like to share some screenshots with you. Still struggling with the highscore save because the SRAM functions are not working for my M3DS... FAT seems to freeze somehow and I haven't figured it out yet what is wrong... to little time for the moment

News from our very own Zodttd
So I have been giving myself some time to think of projects I'd like to do next. Here they are in order:
Gameboy / Gameboy Color
DOSBox
Free Heroes of Might and Magic
I have the most requests to do my own version of a GB/GBC emulator port. So I put it on the top of the list. DOSBox lets you play older PC-DOS games, and I have ported this to other platforms in the past. Not to mention I'd like to write some dynarec code to increase its performance still. Free Heroes of Might and Magic looks like a great game and will work well on the iPhone.
What do you think? Should these be the top 3? Is the order right?
Leave some comments here then be sure to join in on the discussion threads in the forums.
Thanks,
ZodTTD

The maintenance period scheduled tonight for the Phantasy Star servers has been delayed until April 22. On that date, Sega is expecting to release a client update for the PC/PS2 and XBox 360 versions. Here is a summary of what will be included in the 360 update:...
* Meseta amounts will be displayed in different colors.
* The grinder synthesis bug will be fixed. If you want to synth a grinder, you must have at least five open spaces on any stacks you have for that grinder rank. For example, if you want to synth a C grinder, all stacks of C grinders in your character's inventory (C+1 to C+10) must be less than 95.
* All characters on an account will share Guardians Boost Road points.
* There will be a one second delay before you can buy items over 100,000 meseta from a Photon Gacha.
* Story Mode missions will not have any affect on Rare Mission (example: Forest of Illusion) appearances.
* Another Machine Gun glitch will be patched.- Search DCEmu
