Software and console giants Microsoft are ahead in their game of console sales, it looks like that its price cuts on the Xbox 360 has worked wonders. The Xbox 360 is outselling the Sony PS3 by two to one.
The sales of the Xbox 360 has increased by 214 percent following the Xbox 360 price cuts, these sales are supported by sales figures from Chart-Track over the last two weeks, Chris Lewis, Xbox 360 Euro boss “Our commitment to continuously improving and innovating new content, our new high-profile marketing campaign and the fact that we’re now the best-value next-gen console on the market with an entry-level ERP of GBP 129.99 combine to make Xbox 360 the right blend of gaming and wider experiences at the right price to offer unparalleled entertainment for everyone. And these figures prove it,”
Even though the Xbox 360 is doing well, it seems that they still need to learn something from Nintendo, the Wii is always the top of the board, how long the Wii stays at number one in sales is anyones guess.
As of September 2008 the PlayStation 3 sold 1.4 million units in the UK, Xbox 360 has sold 2.3 million and the giant boy the Nintendo Wii sold 3.6 million units.

2.3 to 1.4? Thats not 2:1? Watch these figures as they come from MS and are just a spurt.
Normal service will be resumed soon.
Spurt? errr like the wii Spurt? The 360 is priced at the birthday and xmas level. Microsoft understands that males from 18 to 34 have 500 dollars to spend on a toy but…. most parents loose their nerve above the 200 dollar mark. Walk away PS3 fanboys because Sony is bleeding cash with Cell and Bluray RnD… Right now at 399 cdn the loss is bearable for Sony… if they lower the price the PS3 will sell like hotcakes but the loss will be to great for Sony to absorb this or any quarter. Business is business and a loss leader must be controlled or else.
