So they manage to outsell the 360 by giving away their consoles?
Lets just look at the numbers:
Xbox 360 was at 140k at the start of 2007 and ended the year around 300k, so they sold about 160k last year. PS3 sold (without the free give away consoles) 155k, which includes the launch sales as well. I also have some data from quickly after the launch of the PS3 at the end of Q1. Xbox 360 is at 160k at that point, PS3 at 36k. So in the remaining 9 months Xbox 360 sold around 140k units, PS3 120k units. So even including the free give away consoles would only tie their sales (it was at around 20k at the end of the year), claiming PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 in 2007 is simply not true.
