RicanelitePachter says PS3 outsold Xbox 360 in July
Pachter believes that for the month of July, which will be official from NPD on Aug. 23, that the DS (450,000 units) and Wii (330,000) dominated sales in North America. Although, for the first time ever, the PS3 will show sales of 160,000 units, while the Xbox 360 will have 115,000. This would also mean that the PS3 will have doubled sales since announcing their 60GB clearance sale last month. He goes on to say that the Xbox warranty issue was a speed bump for Microsoft as “as consumers struggled with the meaning of the ‘three red rings of death’ issue.” He believes that the price cut and apparent fix of the design flaw will rebound Xbox 360 sales.
