Console Wars - 360 Wins Christmas Battle

04 Jan, 2007, 10:00 am IST | Nikhil Singh | Gaming

According to what market analysts at IDC told CNBC, the Xbox 360 sold roughly 2 million consoles this holiday season, winning the Christmas sales battle.


The Wii came second, selling 1.8 million consoles, leaving PS3 in the dust with around 750,000 units. I'm sure that if the Wii had units easily available, they could have equaled the 360's sale figures, if not beaten it. For the PS3's sake, lets hope that they see a better holiday season this year, else they'll be totally out of the game.
