PS3 tops Xbox 360 in May game console sales

,----[ Quote ]
| Nintendo's Wii remains atop the monthly sales race in the U.S. video-game 
| console market, but Sony's Playstation 3 beat Microsoft's Xbox 360 in May 
| unit sales released by the NPD Group research firm today. Here's how the 
| three consoles stacked up:   
| 
| Nintendo Wii: 675,100
| PlayStation 3: 208,700
| Xbox 360: 186,600

| Guess the "inventory" excuse is now out. So maybe this explains why MSFT 
| reshuffled management this week.

WinTrolls should give it all up and admit that Xbox 360 was a failure.

| It's weird that Mini and all the commenters here have failed to notice the
| mass exodus from the Xbox team in 2007. By my count, more than 15% of the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| product team (dev/PM/test) have left Microsoft for Apple, Sony, Google,
| Yahoo, MySpace, Amazon, and various other companies (including several
| startups, local and in the Valley).

Peter Moore's parting pledge for Microsoft games an empty promise?

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that we know Mr Moore has departed for greener multi-million dollar
| pastures as the head of the powerful sports games division at Electronic
| Arts, the question is was his promise of a profitable games business at
| Microsoft simply the parting words of a man who knew he would not be around
| to be held accountable for them?
