== Proposed merge of [[Xbox 360 sales]] into [[Xbox 360#Sales]] ==
{{atop | status = redirected | result = I also couldn't find much at [[Xbox 360 sales]] that wasn't already here in one form or another. I redirected to this article instead of merging. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Xbox_360_sales&oldid=1130726748 Here] is a link to the old article just before it was turned to a redirect, so if anyone wants to go prospecting to find content to bring over it's just a click away. [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Noise!]] 03:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC) }}

The parent article already has a rather detailed sales section with tables. It's unclear how this article expands on that with any important detail. Most of the expanded content is dateline prose that just keeps repeating "On date, x sales announced". It appears this article was mostly cut and pasted from the parent in 2013, partially summarized in the parent, then re-expanded some in the parent. It's almost entirely redundant. -- [[User:Ferret|ferret]] ([[User_talk:Ferret|talk]]) 17:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

:'''Merge''' per [[Ferret]].......... [[Special:Contributions/174.27.21.219|174.27.21.219]] ([[User talk:174.27.21.219|talk]]) 04:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
:'''Merge'''. Actually, looking at them, I'd just say redirect. There's nothing at the separate sales article that isn't already sufficiently summarized at the main article, and the prose line, quarter-by-quarter breakdown is useless NOTNEWS material anyway.

== False information about the removal of A/V ==

I can't edit this page yet, so... The page states that the Xbox 360 E has "no AV connector (and thus is HDMI-only)". This is completely false. While the proprietary connector of the original Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 S had been removed, it had been replaced with a standard AUX-style RCA cable. Thus, only the capabilities of S-video, Component, and VGA had been removed. https://www.cnet.com/reviews/microsoft-xbox-360-e-review/ [[User:DeadPixelPro|DeadPixelPro]] ([[User talk:DeadPixelPro|talk]]) 05:24, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
