PlayStation 2 outselling Xbox 360 in US

Like a good soccer match, the monthly sales battles between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 2 have a lot of exciting back-and-forth. So far, however, the PlayStation 2 has remained in control of the match, outselling the Xbox 360 in six of the seven months since the Xbox 360’s debut. The situation is a strong reminder that Sony’s PS3 gamble, while huge, has a little more cushioning than is commonly recognized.

I think it’s obvious that the Playstation 2 is generally far more budget concious. The 360 is brand new, and doesn’t offer near the selection and pricepoints that the PS2 does.
