PlayStation 3 Outsells Xbox 360, DS In January

[manred]

Some more great news for PS3!

There's a reason that Microsoft issued a preemptive damage control statement earlier today about its current supply issues with the Xbox 360—the console is sitting at the bottom of the NPD Group's January 2008 sales charts with an atypically low 230,000 units sold in the United States. We wouldn't be at all surprised if Nintendo chalks up less than mind-blowing sales of the Wii and Nintendo DS to similar supply problems later tonight. The post-holiday race looks pretty much like a dead heat.

* Wii - 274,000
* PlayStation 3 - 269,000
* PlayStation 2 - 264,000
* Nintendo DS - 251,000
* PlayStation Portable - 230,000
* Xbox 360 - 230,000

But lets give it up for the PlayStation 3. As I predicted in last week's episode of GameTrailers TV, the console outsold Microsoft's box last month, which makes me pretty much the smartest person in the room.

At long last the PS3 is selling at a higher rate.

Supposedly, the 360 is having Hardware shortages. Oh well the PS3 DID sell more. I think its more amazing that the PS3 got so close to the Wii.

Yeah that is pretty surprising. Looks like more and more people are willing to pay the jacked price of the PS3. Though it's not as jacked as it use to be.

I :lol: when I heard about the "shortages." It's sad to see that they aren't making many but aren't selling many either.

Good.
Now Sony can give us a price drop, RIGHT?

But that means more people doing online goodies once I get my PS3.

TASTY.

I helped the PS3 in the very beginnning of February by buying one. A very small work of help, but I can say that I did.

PS3 is awesome, and it deserves to be at the top of the list.

i find the bigger news is that ps2 is still outselling the 360/ds

 

[PwnMastr]

[WiiZero]
