Microsoft: Xbox 360 will outsell the PS3 this year
After the success of its lowered price, Microsoft saw its highest month of the year in September, selling 347,200 in the U.S. The console is also making grounds in Japan and increasing quickly worldwide.
Aaron Greenberg, product manager at Microsoft, tells Kotaku, “we feel confident that we’ll outsell the PS3 this holiday season in North America and in Europe. We’ll do it on a global scale.”
The Xbox 360 is now the cheapest console on the market. Microsoft also points out that its console sees a higher number of games sold per console than the others.
According to Greenberg, the company is also taking measures to ensure the stability of the Xbox Live service, which suffered downtime last holiday season after an “unexpected” surge of new users joined.
