Six months after being named the most unreliable video game console, with a failure rate eight times that of the Nintendo Wii and more than twice that of the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox is topping sales charts.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 was the top selling video-game console in February, topping the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 for the first time since 2007.
Xbox 360 sales reached 422,000 units last month, while Sony shipped 360,100 PS3s and Nintendo 397,900 Wiis, according to The NPD Group. The Xbox 360 nabbed the top spot for the first time since September 2007, when the release of Halo 3 drove sales past rivals.
In the games category, the top 10 games were split among the three consoles: three each for the PS3 and Wii platforms and four for the Xbox 360. Bioshock 2 was the best-selling game in February, with more than 750,000 units sold.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 became the third-best selling game of all-time, with nearly 10 million units sold to date.
Considering that Sony just release Playstation Move, "a motion sensing gaming controller", these results will definitely go in favour of PS3 next month. Although, lineup of games for xbox 360 this year is very good, and Poject Natal is coming this holiday season, so, it will be a great year for gamers.
