Microsoft sold 960,000 Xbox 360s last week, making it the best week ever in the console’s five year history. It sold 800,000 copies in only 24 hours around Black Friday.

And now, Gogo’s wondrous WiFi will do the same for international passengers thanks to Inmarsat’s Global Xpress satellite internet service.
