Ballmer says Xbox 360 will outsell PS3
Microsoft big man Steve Ballmer talks up the Xbox?s head start over the PS3 as we preview the best new 360 games
Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer has claimed the PS3?s delayed launch means the Xbox 360 is odds-on to become the biggest-selling next generation console.
In an interview with US magazine Fortune, he observed that the first company to shift 10 million consoles in every other generation has gone on to become market leader. In typically bullish fashion, he remarked on the PS3?s delays: ?Did we just get an even better opportunity to be the first guy to 10 million? Yeah, of course we did?.
He also added that Microsoft can?t produce 360s any faster than it?s currently doing, and dismissed suggestions that the PS3?s built-in Blu-Ray would give it an advantage, citing the probable lack of content for either Sony?s format or HD-DVD this year.
