The PlayStation 3 went beyond expectations this year when it managed to keep momentum going from way back in September (if you consider that way back). Currently, the PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 in January and is at over 1.47 million units for 2010. The 360, on the other hand, has just come past the 1 million mark, sealing the PS3 lead in 2010 by just under 500,000 units.

The exclusives popping up every month might have played a role in the PS3's lead so far in 2010. Despite heavy hitters on the 360 such as Mass Effect 2, it continues to trail Sony's console in Europe. Luckily for Microsoft, their console manages to stay ahead of the PS3 in it's native land, North America. As always, the PS3 represented for Japan, selling over 30,000 units last week compared to the mere 2,500 on the 360, even outselling Nintendo's Wii.

Total sales for last week are at an estimated 192,181 for PS3 and 161,400 for 360. 2010 continues to see the PS3 as the leading console above the 360, and has since stayed at an approximated 500,000 unit lead. While it's definitely possible that a change could happen within the next 8 to 9 months, it does not look like a turnaround for the 360 could happen this March.

February is showing that it's without a doubt an exponentially slow month for both consoles, but the leading console* for this month is currently the PS3 with close to 550,000 units. The 360, while close to it, has yet to reach 500,000 units, giving the PS3 a lead of over 50,000. It wouldn't be surprising if you see the PS3 take February 2010 by the end of the month, especially with Heavy Rain at the end of it.

Whether or not the Xbox 360 has a chance to take over the PS3 for 2010 is still up for grabs. If things go the way they are now, this might be a bigger challenge than Microsoft anticipated.


Wow I really though with 360 exclusive titles like Mass Effect that more people would be buying it, clearly not. I still think it's early days though, we'll have to see what Microsoft can come up with later in the year.

People did not honestly give PS3 the light of day when it came out. It was all about the "Big Price Tag" you could say,I knew PS3 would come back to take the win at some point of its life.

I am not surprised. I always knew the PS3 will outsell the 360 at some point.

caspa. u HONESTLY think a game like mass effect would entice people to buy an xbox? LOL. well, ive played mass effect 2, and nothing awesome about it, just another one of those HUGE fail games that was suppose to be epic. final fantasy 13 may bring some people to xbox but prolly not many. graphics wise, xbox gets dumped on hardcore...example of this is Darksiders and heavy rain, to name a couple.
