Gary told me earlier today that the scuttlebutt going around was that the PS3 outsold the 360 in North America in January. To be frank, I didn’t believe him. I guess I’m a skeptic at heart. But he was right! All of us that voted in the poll to the right were wrong, because I neglected to put January in there!

For the first time in the United States, the PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 with 269,000 units and 230,000 units respectively.

And the PlayStation brand, when you combine the PS3, PS2, and PSP, outsold all other brands. 764K units versus 530K Nintendo and 230K Microsoft units, according to The Bitbag.

Impressive. Most impressive.
