PlayStation 3 outsells Xbox 360 in North America
North American sales figures for the week ended July 14th reveal that Sony’s PlayStation 3 has at last managed to outsell the Xbox 360, with sales topping the 40,000 mark.
A total of 41,005 units were sold, making it the third best selling system in Sony’s current line-up, behind PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. Xbox 360, meanwhile, sold a total of 35,084 units during the same period.
While it remains to be seen whether Sony’s latest hardware can maintain its lead for the month of July, it certainly forecasts an auspicious time for the company, building on the success of the 60GB SKU price cut and the consoles recent fortune in Japan, where it last week eclipsed the one million sales mark. Expect more details on the global performance of PS3 here at PlayStation Universe as it breaks.

meh.
isnt this aload of bollocks because its based on a certain time period?
I mean, the 360 was released before the PS3 in the states, thus they sold their majority then... so its natural for sales to slump slightly when every person and their dog has a 360?
Maybe sales are up cause most people have just about saved enough for one?

I agree with Willay on this one. The xbox has been around for ages now so sales are bound to slow down.

Exactly Willay, shame on you Rus, poor attempt at getting someone to bite.

Doesn't the above also coincide with the $100 price drop?
35,000 Xbox360's is good too for a console that has been out yonks.
