PS3 leading year-to-date sales battle with 360; Sony and Microsoft consoles see over 70 per cent sales boost
The race between Xbox 360 and PS3 shifted up a notch this past week as both consoles saw huge leaps in hardware sales, thanks to the Easter break.
Though PS3 is still outselling 360 regularly week-on-week and in terms of year-to-date sales, the Sony and Microsoft platforms both saw a 73 and 78 per cent rise in hardware sales respectively this week.

Shouldn't it be "up 140%" ? 1 Million increased by 78% increased by 36% resulted in 2.42 Million, which mean increase of 1.42 Million (2.42 - 1), or 142% increase over two weeks.
