In comparison, the original Xbox sold 123,000 units in its first three days. Seems Microsoft has some work cut out for them ...

For the first time since the Xbox 360 launch Microsoft updated its
list of backwards compatible Xbox titles, adding Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon franchises to the list, eight titles in total. Unfortunately the joy was short lived as shortly thereafter, it was pulled again due to actually making other titles not work anymore, one of those being Halo 2.

UPDATE : Microsoft has released a working patch which is now available through Xbox Live
