A bumper month for the PS3, as expected. That said, the 360 sold much better than I was expecting it to as well. Numbers for everyone are well up this month, no?

Yeah, everyone seems to have had a boost this month. I think the question for Sony is if they can maintain this sales level. With the 360 having cheaper models available I wouldn’t be surprised to see it back on top in a few months when the initial clamour for the new PS3 slim dies down.

I agree with Bulk. I think this is only the thrid time in the history of co xb360 and PS3 sales that the PS3 has outsold xb360 in a given month. Nice to see it do better, but not really that big of a deal unless it puts a few months back to back to back. Sony had a good month, but what they need is a trend. And a long term one at that.
