To be fair, it's selling like hotcakes compared to last year. It's selling almost double on a regular basis vs. last year.

Europe (Feb-Jul):
2007: 785,260
2008: 1,827,000

Quite the difference, no?

Fair enough Mr stickball but it aint wiping the floor of the 360.

The only one that is doing that to both hd consoles is the wii.

 

And where in the OP did anyone from Microsoft say that the Xbox 360 was wiping the floor with anyone, or anything? They merely said it was flying off the shelves. And compared to last year, again, there is certainly justification for that. Likewise, Sony or Nintendo could say the same thing. But nevertheless, the numbers show that the X360 is enjoying a great upswing in sales thanks to the aggressive price drop.

And in the exact article, they don't mention the PS3 more than twice - once about Mattrick claiming the X360 would outsell the PS3 this generation (possible), and then about their video store. The fanboys are blowing this way out of proportion, and no one is using sales numbers.
