The race is on!!!!

The games consoles race is now in full swing now the PS3 has been released. The 3 consoles are now in direct competition, with World sales showing the figures. The Xbox 360, the first to be released has sold about 10.4 million consoles world wide. This is no surprise as it was the first to be released by about a year and it is a fantastic console. The Nintendo Wii, the second to be released has sold 5.1 million units. (This figure is from the end of 2006 and has risen drastically since then). The PS3 has sold 1.71 million units worldwide. It was released in America quite a while before it was released over here, which will have an effect. Some think the PS3 isnt as popular, partly due to its huge price (£425). Both the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii sold out on their release date, but the PS3 is still in stores nearly a week after its release date. I think Playstation and Sony need to have a think about how much money alot of their customers have. For other games console sales figures visit:
