Microsoft sold 28,116 XBOX 360 game consoles compared to just 10,705 PS3 units. Analyst are speculating the sells were driving by the release of a new role playing game called "Tales of Vesperia".
Analyst have seen these kind of trends before every time a game goes exclusive for that game consoles. I'm not a rocket scientist but, instead of knocking $10 to $50 off the game console itself, why not just offer a much wanted game exclusively for that console?
