Sales Figures: PS3 Overtakes 360 Stateside… this week
Yeah, I never thought this day would come, but alas, the Playstation 3 this past week outsold the Xbox 360 in the United States. Of course, the PS3 and 360 were still fighting over second place, because you people are still gullible enough to buy the gimmick machine–er, I mean, Wii.
Here’s how the sales figures boiled down last week: Upon news of the PS3 price drop, Sony was able to sell 41,005 units, while Microsoft was only able to push 35,084 out the door. Even if Sony and Microsoft combined their resources, they still would have been 305 units short of Nintendo’s Wii, which sold a staggering 76,394.
Could this success last for Sony? …doubt it. As soon as those 60GB systems are all gone, and it’s all 80GB consoles, I expect things to return to normal.
