    Default Xbox 360 outsells Wii and PS3

    Xbox 360 outsells Wii and PS3
    In the US, at least

    Analysts at research firm NPD have released their findings on sales of games consoles in the US, and the numbers show that the Xbox 360 outsold both the Wii and the PS3

    Although the Xbox 360 has been around a lot longer than the Wii and the PS3, Microsoft is presumably able to keep production up to demand, whereas the difficulty in customers getting their hands on a Wii and especially a PS3 has been well documented.

    Gee i wonder why, could it be due to gears of war and the upcoming halo 3, oh and the re-calls on the wii's wand wrist bands. Then the price of the ps3

    Wii FTW


    stop being lazy and sitting on your ass playing a 360 or PS3
    instead do something productive

    and buy that fatass kid down the street a Wii

    yes, its true, if you read the fine print on the bottom of the box of the Wii, its actually endorsed by Chuck Norris... they are trying to trick fat kids into becoming skinny

    Solid numbers considered, the XBOX360 did outsell both systems simply due to the readily available units.

    However, when taking into account the limited availability of the Wii and PS3, the Nintendo Wii was the most popular selling system of the Holiday and thus, relatively, did better than the 360 and the PS3.

    Meh, Halo 2 sucked compared to the original so I keep my hopes minimal at best. Here's hoping for good online play though.

    I've seen the official trailor and a "making of" trailor. The graphics look great, but I want to see what they really add in terms of new weapons, maps, and enhanced gameplay. If all they do is beef up the graphics, then I'm going to be disappointed.

    Where you in a hole from november to christmas? Not availability? The numbers were from november to christmas, so yes it was availability as the article plainly stated.

    Did anyone expect any less? There were an ubundance of 360's, of course they sold more. How many people went looking for a PS3 or a Wii, but settled for a 360 because the other 2 were sold out? I know of 4 of the top of my head. That was part of their selling stragedy from the beginning. A good one too.

    Wait until the playing field is even as far as availability of consoles AND games. Either the Wii or the PS3 will be on top, the 360 is old news.

    ok old school games were cool, we are talking about 15 years ago, but all the games that you listed are in all the systems, what i mean is that nintendo has not came out with a game that makes me say that i want to get a wii because is not in the other systems.
    for sony we have the metal gear series and the GT series, and for microsoft we have halo, but what do we have for nintendo???? another mario game???? mario kart probably???

    whoaaaaa dont diss mario kart... the original is awesome!

    and yep to the guy saying people settled for the 360.. saw it happen alot at work.

    Altho to be honest i think the most in demand system this holiday season was probably the DS Lite.
