Minutes prior to NPD Group's release of monthly U.S. game sales data, Microsoft has revealed it has sold 188,000 Xbox 360s sold in April; GTA IV on 360 tops software charts.
ImageMicrosoft said that U.S. Xbox 360 sales now total 10.1 million, with 19 million sold worldwide. The console launched in November 2005.

Sony PlayStation 3 figures have yet to be revealed, but a press statement from Microsoft said that Xbox 360 "continues to outsell PS3."

Ouch, those are pretty shit sales.

The "continues to outsell" bit is probably some weird combination of revenue from hardware and software but only when counting 3rd party developers whose names begin with the letter M, S, or T.

Kinda wonder what they mean by "continues" to outself PS3... since when?

I'm waiting before the OFFICIAL number before commenting. People needs to chill for a second here.

Chill? If this is true GAME OVER!

This means we are in for another furious anti-Wii month?

They'll be too busy eating their crow to say much after last month's fiasco. Though I do hope to hear more Wii Doomsday, there's not much they can say when Wii sold so much in the face of GTAIV and Mario Kart beat PS3 GTAIV.

If they do decide to hate, it'd be fun to watch.
