Xbox 360 sales top Sony's PS3 by 8 million units
Microsoft released a host of statistics early this evening to trumpet what it said was the success of its Xbox 360 video game console.
Microsoft said it has now sold more than 28 million Xbox 360s since the console's launch, expanding the Xbox 360's lead over Sony's PlayStation 3 by 8 million units worldwide. In late November, the company said it had sold 25 million units so far.
Microsoft also said there were now more than 17 million active members of Xbox Live, its online service. The company had said that there were 14 million active members last quarter.
In a statement, Sony called attention to some statistics of its own:
Early internal data points to an increase of more than 130 percent of PS3 hardware sales for the holiday season (since Black Friday) and we're also seeing a growth of nearly 40 percent in total PS3 hardware sales for the calendar year. We remain confident this momentum will continue into the new year.
