UK 360 sales boom as PSP hits all-time low

Price cut, Elite launch cause 260 per cent surge for Xbox

Chart-Track has released new statistics which show a 260 per cent week-on-week increase in UK sales for Microsoft's Xbox 360 in the UK - while the PSP has suffered its worst week of sales since launch.As reported by MCV, the change in fortunes for both machines are down to hardware line-up changes.

In Xbox 360's case the sales spike coincided with the introduction of the new Elite model, and a price reduction for the existing Premium and Core versions.Strong sales continued into a second week, falling by only 20 per cent.

The blame for the crash in PSP sales is attributed to retailers and consumers anticipating the imminent launch of the new Slim and Lite model of the handheld on September 14.
ChartTrack declined to supply specific sales figures for either Xbox 360 or PSP.

Halo 3 for the 360.

And there's nothing realy happening wiith the PSP. Waiting for the new model is going to halt sales.

Personally, I gave up on the PSP as it's an abused platform. I'll pick up some single player games, but I'm not going to get hooked on any infrastucture games due to all the cheat software created for the platform.

I probably will pick up a new one for the media capabilties as that's nice...

hehe ... sorry I'd like too take this time to throw a wrench in the whole "people buying stuff from Microsoft" business

If you upgrade into an Elite, your Arcade games have a surprise for you

Annoying DRM rarely rears its head in gaming, but people who update their 360s with Elites are going to have a rough time with their Arcade downloads.

Elite sales will bloom but the people who already have the previous one are going to be shafted. As is the case already with some people.

But yes, I have always considered the 360 to be an exceptional vehicle foor my gaming experience, but I think I'm going too the stick with a version 300 dollars cheaper and on par graphics that will make my gaming experience better. It's called the PSP slim annd there is no other like it
