Confident claims for the ageing game box
With the recent release of Sony’s PS3 Slim (and the absolutely huge sales figures that came with it), everything seems to be coming up roses for the Japanese games giant. It seems Microsoft is well aware that Sony’s downsized console was a winning move, though, as top Xbox exec Aaron Greenberg has gone on record conceding that sales for the month of September will most definitely sway in the PS3’s favour.

In an interview with Game Informer, Greenberg said: “When NPD releases September sales later today, we fully expect PlayStation 3 will come in as the console with the most units sold for the month. This is frankly not a real surprise.”
However, he then went on to claim that - despite this recent PS3-sales upsurge - Microsoft believes that the Xbox 360 will win out overall: What I can tell you is we remain confident that Xbox 360 will not only outsell PS3 for the full calendar year, but for this entire generation.”
Reeling off the full list of services the 360 provides, including instantly being able to watch HD movies through Xbox LIV (suggesting that such a system is better that the PS3’s Blu-Ray support), it seems that both Greenberg and Microsoft are happy to back the current machine for another few years at least.
