hmmm...i get an odd feeling that 360>ps3. don't know why though.

I doubt it, we usually get pre-emptive press release spin from Microsoft the day before NPD when they think PS3 outsold them, and they did it again yesterday.

really, can i get a link to the pr?

Subject: Media Alert: Xbox 360 console sales surge post-price drop

Coming off the heels of the console price drop last week, Microsoft Xbox 360 sales have surged, with retailers reporting over 100% sales lift for all Xbox 360 models compared to the previous weekend. Additionally, retailers are reporting that between Friday, Sept. 5 and Sunday, Sept. 7, some Xbox 360 models were selling at six times the rate they were the weekend prior.

At $199, Xbox 360 is now not only the most affordable next-generation console available, but it also packs more entertainment punch per dollar than any other consumer electronics device connected to your TV. Xbox 360 invites you into a limitless world where the best games, movies and TV shows live side by side with your personal pictures and music library, and the experience is ready to share anytime with friends in your living room or across the globe through Xbox LIVE.

well it was clear it was going to be outsold again.
