PS3 Outsells Xbox 360 in Q2 Worldwide

A comparison of Sony's corporate unit sales data and comments made by an investor relations spokesperson for Microsoft suggest that PlayStation 3 outsold Xbox 360 worldwide for the three months ending 30th September.
The PS3 shifted 2.43 million consoles throughout the period, according to freshly-published Q2 FY 2008 figures - nearly double that for the same stretch last year.
This puts Sony ahead of Microsoft, which recently told AFP the 360 shifted 2.2 million units for the same period.

I haven't 'found' the MS or NIN equivelent statement but yes...inventories are rising to account for expected Xmas sales. They are actually carrying LESS inventory compared to last year but over the 3 mos it has risen:
Quote:
Inventory, as of September 30, 2008, was ¥243.2 billion ($2,338 million), which represents a ¥4.6 billion decrease compared with the level as of September 30, 2007.
Inventory increased by ¥83.7 billion, or 52.5%,
compared with the level as of June 30, 2008, due to increased inventory of PS3 and PSP hardware for the
holiday sales season.
I know I read it 'direct' a few days ago...but can't find it...here is a 'forum' version.
