Microsoft are today claiming that the Xbox 360 outsold the PlayStation 3 by three-to-one in the US, after Microsoft's efforts ahead of the key Thanksgiving sales period.

Sales of the 360 are also said to be up some 400% in Europe, as Microsoft's marketing efforts combine with big-name releases to really give Sony and Nintendo something to think about.

"Record Black Friday sales in the U.S., coupled with our existing global install base of 25 million and an online community of more than 14 million Xbox Live members, have laid the groundwork for continued global sales momentum in 2009," beams Xbox chief Don Mattrick.

Titles like Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Lips have been credited with the 360's strong sales.

    The momentum has more to do with the price drop. Also, how many of the consoles sold were replacements so that people could get thew motherboard.

    It also has to do with the economy.

    I am not saying that numbers are incorrect, but all the reasoning is not listed.

    Oh, and Xbots don't start bashing because you would say the same thing if PS3 was cheaper than the Xbox.
