360 doing a little better

[WhatRuOn]

It's really puzzling to me how the PS2 still has sales that strong. It really bothers me that EA has that many top sellers. It seems like the more money they make, the worse the games get.

161,000 360's? They must be sending a good amount over to Europe also and I'm hoping Japan isn't getting any considering their launch supply is still available. I hope to see March's numbers improve cause you can't support a new system with just 161,000 a month.

I wonder if the announcement of a November PS3 release will drive up sales.

[OKlondon]

Look at the ps2! How can the 360 beat the ps3 or come close when its no where near the ps2.

[WhatRuOn]

People actually bought Full Auto... :| I think I would buy a couple xbox or Ps2 games before I spent money on that trash.

[Aleman]

I bet MS could sell a million consoles per month if they could actually get their act together.
