This time the XBox 360 has won against PS3 in terms of the number of consoles sold. “Microsoft sold 28,116 units of the Xbox 360 in the week ended August 10, compared with 10,705 units of the PS3″. We had also compared and written a post about Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 previously. This is a big achievement for Microsoft keeping in mind that Japan is the mother country of PS3 (or Sony). People think that the uptick in Xbox 360 sales is due to the launch of Namco’s “Tales of Vesperia” (video link), a trendy role-playing game (RPG). In the past, Sony would probably have gotten an exclusive deal with Namco, but it looks like Sony isn’t ready to pay for such rights this time around. This might be interpreted as a mistake by industry watchers. I certainly think that exclusives are strategic to the success of a console. Nintendo sold 41044 Wii consoles in the same period.
