310,000 Xbox 360s Sold Over Thanksgiving, Almost Catching Wii
Microsoft sold 310,000 Xbox 360 consoles over the Thanksgiving week, almost, but not quite, catching Nintendo’s Wii in sales. Microsoft missed taking first place by 40,000 units, but still outsold Sony by a factor of two-to-one, PS3 price cuts be damned. Amazingly, Microsoft sold almost as many consoles that week as it did the entire previous month.
In an addendum to a story on the console maker’s various woes with Xbox 360 reliability, Tech Check reports that US consumers purchased more than 310,000 systems for the week of November 18. For the entire month of October, the NPD Group reported Xbox 360 sales of 366,000, compared with 519,000 Wiis and 121,000 PlayStation 3s.
