Xbox 360 Outselling PS3 Two-To-One

Xbox 360 Sales
According to Microsoft, the Xbox 360 is winning the console war in major ways. At their E3 media briefing, they claimed that the 360 is outselling the PS3 two-to-one. They also noted that two-thirds of all third-party games are being sold on the 360, making it the console to have if you want the widest breadth of available games.

Of course, Sony and Nintendo haven't had their say yet (they do so today), so we'll take these claims within the context of Microsoft trying to impress us with big numbers and pretty green lights.

Every year at E3 (America's biggest video game media summit) each console company leads things off with a media briefing. Along with the spectacle, these briefings (not much more than fancy PowerPoint prezos) tend to kick off with the company claiming recent victories on the console war battlefield. Expect to see similarly-convenient stats from the other two big guns. But, for now, we're pretty impressed with the numbers from Microsoft.
