Playstation 3 Outsells XBox in January of '08




Sony has sold more units of its Playstation 3 than Microsoft has of its XBox 360. Both however, continue to trail the Nintendo Wii.

Wii: 274,000 units
Playstation 3: 269,000 units
XBox 360: 230,000 units

The difference may be associated with the imbedded DVD player of the PS3. It functions as a Blu-Ray Player as well as a gaming console. Warner Bros. has abandoned HD-DVD totally and is going exclusively with Blu-Ray. Many shoppers are (will be) taking this into consideration when making a purchase decision.
