NPD: PS3 Is Selling Faster Then The 360 In US

Although sales figures from the United States show the PlayStation 3 is currently being outsold by its rivals, a US based sales tracker has said the machine is ahead of Xbox 360 in real terms.

A spokesman from NPD, a respected sales tracking firm, said, "figures show that the PS3 is selling slightly faster in the US than the Xbox 360 did at the same stage in its release".

After a delay of more than four months, one million PlayStation 3 consoles went on sale from midnight across Europe, with over 200,000 available in the UK.

Although current UK figures show the Nintendo Wii is outselling all other consoles at the moment, one analyst believes Sony can become number one if it releases the right games.

Gartner principal analyst Paul O'Donovan said, "The real issue for Sony is whether they can get back the momentum they had with PS2. The only thing that is going to drive that is the number of titles available."

I can attest to this.  This time last year I was calling EB games daily trying to track down one.

And also has to compete against the 360 and Wii.

Many lemmings like to ignore this fact. The console just launch in Europe and I expect it to overtake 360 and Wii sales by the end of the year or soon after. As soon as MGS 4 and GTA 4 come out it's game over for Xbox.JimmyT2

I couldn't agree more with it overtaking 360, but Wii?

Yet you Sony fans still forget who is in the lead.fixer293

of course a console thats been out a year longer has the lead.

now i will openly admit that wii sales are impressive. but, even the most casual of gamer has enough know-how to spot game droughts/drenches, so we'll see if it keeps up. 

360 fanboys: "b-b-but we MS was sold out at that time *cry cry*"thedarkomen

i swear ive seen the exact same thread 10 times today. i said it before and ill say it again. the PS3 isnt competeing with the 360 from LAST year its competeing with it now, and its losing. anyway the 360 had shortages well into march.Happyphilter
