PS3 Lagging behind Xbox 360 in UK
Sales of the Playstation 3 are lagging behind those of the XBOX 360 by as much as 18% this month. Apparantly the Sales of the 360 surged with the release of GTA 4 last month. Even worse, GTA 4 may have sold over 1.3 million copies in the UK but the split favours the XBOX 360 again with a total of 57% (or 750,000 copies) of sales being attributed to the XBOX 360 console, compared to 43% (around 570,000 copies) on the PS3.
However, all is not lost. Looking at the total year to date, sales of PlayStation 3 in the UK are 10 per cent ahead of Xbox 360. Prior to the launch of GTA IV, the PS3 boasted a 20 per cent lead on 360, so the gap is narrowing.
