Blame Canada: PS3 Outsells 360 in July
Submitted by James Munn on August 22, 2007 – 12:43 am2 Comments
Early NPD numbers show what analysts have been mumbling about for the past week-plus; in the month of July ’07, the PS3 (15,000 units) has outsold the Xbox 360 (13,000 units) for the very first time. I’m definitely surprised and actually even a little pleased that at least Canadians see quality over quantity, meaning, quality of console over the quantity of games.
It’s still a long difficult road ahead for the PS3, especially if you decide to mix the Wii into the picture. The Nintendo Wii nearly tripled the 360′s sales numbers in July (36,000 units).
I haven’t seen anything about the US sales numbers yet but once those hit, we’ll see if this Sony-positive sales trend seeped down into the States.

Or it could have something to do with the fact that for about 2 weeks the ps3 cost the exact same as the 360. A 150 dollar price drop that peopel know will disappear shortly should move hardware.
I don’t know what you are on about the hardware. The ps3 may not break down nearly as much but if it doesn’t have any games then it really doesn’t matter now does it? if you have no interest in driving games, you are essentially limited to RFOM.
I hardly see how that qualifies as quality. I’d rather have a system who’se biggest flaw is that sometimes I can’t play all the awesome game son it than a system that never breaks down whose flaw is a completele lack of games to play on it.
This just proves that Canadiens have no taste.
