Xbox 360 Kicks Nintendo Wii and PS3 Ass in SalesPage 125 November 2006By: Robert Matei Gaming News EditorXbox 360 Kicks Nintendo Wii and PS3 Ass in SalesCaptain Obvious' reportMaybe this is what Captain Obvious would say but it gives me great joy to report that theXbox 360 has surpassed both the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PS3 as regarding sales. What they lack in other areas Microsoft makesup for in marketing and bundles so this ishow the 360 registered larger sales than both its competitors. Of course you would say thatthe fact that the PS3 and Wii are nowhere to be found was the main reason for this increasein Xbox sales but who is to blame if not Sony and Nintendo?As msn.com reports Canada Microsoft Game Studios had a special Xbox 360 offer tocounteract the effect of the Wii and PS3 launches. They offered three games 20GB Xbox360 plus an extra controller for just US$ 449.99. Not to mention the Amazon US$ 100 offerfor an Xbox Core package. The release of Gears of War also helped but we have to give this one to Microsoft forknowing exactly when to react. Keep in mind that the Xbox 360 was released almost a yearago so we cant consider it hot property. During a time when the whole U.S. is in a Wiiand PS3 frenzy the Xbox 306 manages to outsell them all.
