The Microsoft Xbox 360 has outsold all of its rivals in the UK this year, according to the latest figures released by Gfk Chart-Track.

Analysis of the difference between Chart-Track figures released in late January and those released now, at the end of June, collated by Gamezine.co.uk, show that the Microsoft Xbox 360 had sold 600,000 units in that time period. The Nintendo Wii sold 300,000 and the Nintendo DS and DSi together sold 400,000. The Sony PS3 sold 300,000 and the Sony PSP sold 100,000.

The overall picture still has the Nintendo DS and DSi having outsold all other consoles over its lifetime, with the Nintendo Wii the bestselling home console too. Lifetime sales are (in descending order): Nintendo DS/DSi - 9.4 million; Nintendo Wii - 5.4 million; Microsoft Xbox 360 - 3.9 million; Sony PSP - 3.3 million; Sony PS3 - 2.2 million.

the barrel tip rest on the tongue

yeah, its definitely the superior system. the ps3 is more expensive, and has less big games, the wii is great, but its not something that you really play by yourself, so its less marketable.

It's a bit obvious

Good console
more or less equal to the PS3 in power
most good games are on both consoles.
Cheap.
great exclusives.

not so much gadgetry, but gameplay itself. i really like pikmin for instance, even though i'm not really taken by nintendo as a whole. i wish there was more creative stuff like that.
