its wierd how the PS2 is out selling Xbox360 by nearly 20,000 units.
is it because of the price of the Xbox or are people waiting for PS3 i know i am, its just the price of the PS3 that's !!!
I'm never really sure where those numbers come from, as they are always quite misleading and seem to be quite off from hardware and software sales I see other places (at least the weekly numbers don't see to match the month end numbers). Here are the July end numbers I've seen in a few places, which seem different (and far more accurate considering the 360 has sold over 5 million units world wide already):
July Hardware Sales
NDS = 377,000
PS2 = 241,000
360 = 206,000
GBA = 163,000
PSP = 161,000
GCN = 44,000
Xbox = 12,000

Overall hardware sales were up 25% y/y counting current and next gen consoles and handheld sales. 128-bit hardware sales were down 33% y/y in July. PS2 unit sales were down 22% y/y, GCN down 13% and Xbox down 47%. This brings the install base of 128-bit consoles to approximately 60 million in the U.S. The Xbox 360 sold 207K units versus 277K in June, with a strong life-to-date tie ratio of 4.61. Combined Xbox and Xbox 360 software increased 44% y/y. We expect Xbox 360 hardware sales to pick up in August with the release of EA’s Madden NFL 2007.

On a side note, why hasn't this thread also been moved to the electronics section like the thread on Xbox Live was?
