Xbox 360 Outsells PS3 and Wii?

It seems the battle of the next gen consoles has ended a lot early at least as far as America and Canada are concerned, as MSN is reporting that sales of the Xbox 360 have exceeded that of the PlayStation 3 and the Wii in both places. Now one of the main reasons for this is probably Gears of War, Epic's third person tactical shooter that seems to have taken the world by storm. In addition to this, Microsoft has also dropped the price of several Xbox 360 titles and accessories to get that added advantage over rivals. To make matters worse for Sony, the PlayStation 3 had one of the most pathetic launch line-ups in the history of line-ups and the Wii, well only had Zelda, as all the other titles have got pretty lukewarm reviews. Now keep in mind, this is a statistic released by MSN, and is applicable to America and Canada only, so let's give the PS3 and the Wii some time before we label them as crap; if I remember correctly, the Xbox 360 did kind of suck initially as well (remember the problems users had with overheating and the brick of an adapter?). Either way, it seems Microsoft has won round one; let's see what Sony and Nintendo have up their sleeves now. |
