The IDC report that accompanies those figures provides more recent (if not official) numbers. Aemon Send a noteboard - 21/06/2013 08:55:40 PM

PS3: 77 million.
360: 76 million.

I believe Microsoft has also officially pegged the 360 at 77.2 million as of April.

The nice thing, though, is that it doesn't matter what the actual numbers are. Whether it's 1 million or 5, it's pretty clear that the systems are on equal footing these days, and that the 360 does not have "a huge edge in sales." They certainly got out to an early lead, back in the day, but that advantage has disappeared.

I'll not reward Microsoft for coming to its senses and covering its ass - 20/06/2013 10:15:09 AM 1223 Views

You do realise the PS3 has outsold the 360? *NM* - 20/06/2013 11:52:59 PM 603 Views
Since when? I highly doubt this since... - 21/06/2013 06:31:33 PM 1297 Views
