Xbox 360 outselling PS3 two-to-one
Microsoft has said that sales of the Xbox 360 have doubled in the past two weeks, outselling Sony's PlayStation 3 by two-to-one.
According to Chart Track figures, sales were up 214 per cent in the past two weeks, in the wake of a price cut across the European region. "This data shows that the Xbox 360 trajectory continues upwards, and not just in the UK," said Chris Lewis, VP of Xbox in Europe.
"We've seen uplift in all countries in Europe and are confident that even at this rate of growth we can keep retail satisfied with a steady supply of consoles throughout the Christmas season." Although Microsoft's claims are backed by Chart Track's data, the company stopped short of detailing exact unit sales for the period.
