Afro Samurai confirmed for European releaseSony Computer Entertainment America has issued a statement declaring that Microsoft’s recent claims that it’s Xbox 360 console outsold the PS3 by 2:1 in North America last week are “way off”.
Microsoft announced earlier this week that it’s next-generation videogames console had sold a total of 310,000 units during the Black Friday week, which according to the company, had cemented a 2:1 lead over what Sony’s machine had accomplished during the same period.
However, speaking in an official statement today, the company told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "It's (Sony Computer Entertainment America) policy not to disclose our unit sales numbers until NPD numbers are officially released which will be December 13th.”
“However, I can assure you that Microsoft's estimates of our PS3 unit sales numbers are way off and they did not outsell PS3 2:1 during Black Friday week.”
Nintendo is believed to have secured overall console supremacy last week, however, with sales of the Wii reaching 350,000 units.

Next: Japanese PS3 sales surpass the Wii in November The PlayStation 3 has outsold Nintendo’s Wii console in Japan for the month of November, according to the latest hardware figures from Famitsu publisher, Enterbrain... |
XBox is so dated... They should just take them out of stores!
The Wii can't stay in stock at any retailer anywhere!
And the PS3 is all that people will have to look at this season!

Cant wait for Dec 13th to hear the results. All those idiots on the forums that jump at the chance to post the 2:1 ratio article will not be having the last laugh!
whats wrong with u tha_last_romeo
Straight up. My GF tried to get a ps3, and they were sold out but the guy said and i quote "We have plenty of xbox's" she says, "Well taht should tell you something. No Thank you."
don't understand why ms and its fanboys hated sony so much!!!
ahah lol the simpsons :) anyhow yeah for sony hope this will help them take over the sales in 2008 ^_^
Nice work Microsoft, way to make yourself look like a tool!
The 2:1 ratio is correct.. Its the number of every Xbox's return per eveyone sold..
ms never release a thing and they just start after so long? they outsold ps3 for while but now that ps3 is getting back on top they announce it? sounds the oppisite.
they didnt release when they were on the top and now that ps3 is nr 2 they are starting to announce
u lot dont no the results so dont jus be so fanboyish about it, Dec 13 i want to see who has the best sales.
will x360 comes 1st like last year, will wii overtake 360 for the holiday season or will ps3 outsell them all? who knows.
psn id: gingo.... hahaha microsoft trying ot make themselves look big by quoting an imaginative ratio when really it will only be by a small margin that they outsell ps3
xbox will see sales of ps3 in 2008 it will be double times inverse of current sales u can say ps3 will outsell xbox by 4:1
i doubted the 2:1 ratio since it was surfaced but the truth will come out on Dec. 13th. Xbox fanboys are just looking for something to rejoice about because lately everywhere you look it's been PS3 this PS3 that.
All I know is last weekend I saw 360's on store shelves. I saw no PS3's and no Wii's. Almost all of the units in my area sold out.
Xbox360 is rubbish, the Wii is okay...
I don't know anyone who wants to purchase a 360! The biggest reason I hate Microsoft is the fact that they like to diss Sonys Playstation 3 any way they can, even pulling $hi+ out there a$! I have not heard one negative comment from Sony about the 360 besides fudging sales numbers!
Wii had the most? big surprise...
XBox's sole problem is its MICROSOFT, end of story... We all know and hate MS's track record, and it really suprises me that people keep on buying thier products. Its one thing to wanna have american products, but thier marketing stradegy is NOT healthy for america, I wish more people would understand that., A good Market is based on variety for the consumer, and time after time MS has bought up or tried to monopolize the market.
2:1? Are they smoking crack? Everyone knows it's gonna be at LEAST 3:1
Rather wait to see the new NPD numbers to see how off they are.
fcuk xbox
World wide...Sony absolutely killed M$. Sales went off the charts, absolutely dominating the 360's.
my only wonder is how ms managed to pull that ratio
i mean ok, they know their own sales numbers
but how in the world did they sonys?
and even if it were true, which i really doubt, it's really messed up..it's like bragging
sony has been doing well lately and wii has just been owning up everything
but you dont see them bragging or comparing themselves
microsofts business is the 360 and nothing else
this is just despicable
I Guess the ps3 Will be the winner this holiday, cause u hear tht its starting to pass the wii in sales.So i guess cause of the price drop and the new model they have a h3ll of alot going for them, and on another note when the price drop was announced people were dissin sony!? wtf was tht rigt b4 tht they were like ps3 needs to b cheaper!!

My Bestby had tons of PS3s and Xboxs on black friday. they actually sold out of xboxes before PS3s. (I have a friend who is a manager, how I got both of my consoles.) Oh yeah, Romeo, open your mind up a little. I hate fanboys. Why not buy both and like them each for their good qualities.
And in response to Towlie, Sony has done the same to Microsoft when Halo was under developement. On Halo's Wikipedia a quote was edited in stating "wont look better than Halo 2" and when traced it came from a computer at SCEA headquarters. So yean, both companies need to grow up... and keep making great games.
In response to Darkaznmonkey... Microsoft's business is way more than just the Xbox. In fact, until Halo released they were perpetually in the red with their Xbox division. I am a game journalist for my college newspaper and magazine so I need to keep up on this. Not tryin to make anyone look dumb.
