PlayStation 3 Outsells Xbox 360 in January, Gets Close to Wii

The PlayStation 3 has outsold the Xbox 360 and got very close to the Nintendo Wii last month, according to the latest market research.

• Wii: 274,000 units
• PS3: 269,000 units
• xBox 360 : 230,000

It might be that consumers are buying the console to get what is often described as the “Best Blu-Ray Player”, and by the way, it’s also a game console. With HD-DVD on the edge of doom, it looks like customers are opening their wallets. 2008 should also be the year of exclusive titles like MGS4 that will further help the PlayStation 3.
