Microsoft is crowing about their massive sales on Black Friday, posting record numbers.
Microsoft has announced that US sales of the Xbox 360 over the Black Friday weekend posted a new record, and were up 25 per cent over last year’s number.
Furthermore it’s estimated that Xbox 360 sales outnumbered those of the PlayStation 3 by 3-to-1, no doubt thanks in part to the price reduction put in place a few months ago.
If that weren’t enough:
The company also underlined the console’s sales performance in the Europe, where it is “outselling the PlayStation 3 week over week,” and up over 400 per cent over last year’s number.
How’s that “we’re not going to cut our price for the holidays” strategy working, Sony?
