Microsoft: Xbox 360 Outsold PS3 Over Weekend

In a sign that the Xbox 360 might outsell the PlayStation 3 for the third month in a row, Microsoft said it outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 by a three-to-one ratio over the Black Friday shopping weekend.

Holiday sales are critical for video game console makers because they account for the majority of console sales each year. (Industry, PS3, Xbox 360)

Update Updated, 8 pm: In a statement, Sony does not refer to Microsoft's claim. Sony's Peter Dille says, "We remain confident in our continued momentum, as evidenced by the most recent NPD numbers showing 90% growth in year-to-date sales. We're on pace to meet our fiscal year targets and believe our unmatched software line up and feature-rich hardware offerings will continue to drive our growth throughout the holiday season."
