Xbox 360 Tops Christmas Sales

The Xbox 360 console emerged as the surprise winner for the Christmas selling period according to the latest stats from market-watcher, NPD.

The figures are for the US but still provide an interesting insight into how the year-old, 360 console is holding its ground against the new Nintendo Wii and Xbox_360_medium_3 Sony Playstation 3 consoles. In a report featured on CNBC, Xbox 360 sales hit 2 million units between the start of November and Christmas day.

Nintendo’s Wii did amazingly well though with 1.8 million units sold, considering it didn’t launch until the latter half of November. Sony managed to ship 750,000 PS3s, a figure that reflects some of the embarrassing production problems Sony had.

With Sony planning its Spring PS3 assault for the UK and Europe, it will be interesting to see if the Xbox 360 can continue to spoil the party.
