PlayStation 3 outsells Xbox 360 for the first time in 32 months
The results were influenced by the PS3 Super Slim GTA 5 bundle, proving that Rockstar's hit - which boosted software sales in September by 52 per cent - has influence outside of the software market.
This is the first time the Xbox 360 has not dominated US console sales since January 2011.
Meanwhile, the 3DS was the top selling hardware product for the fifth consecutive month, while the Wii U experienced a surge thanks to Nintendo's price drop. As a result, Wii U sales increased by 100 per cent on an average per-week basis from the month of August.
NPD predicts that Pokemon X & Y will result in a surge of sales for the 3DS in the month of October.
The news comes amid a continued decline for hardware sales in the lead up to November's next-gen consoles launch. Total hardware sales fell 13 per cent compared to figures form September 2012.

That GTA bundle did it for them. Congrats. They have a new 3DS bundle with both Pokemon games and you save quite a bit on it so I'm sure that will raise their sales a lot.

I was an Xbox player for years but it's good to change so I bought a ps3 and haven't touched my Xbox 360 since.

TTG_Flair who cares anymore everyone is buying a Xbox 1 mostly likely
Typical ttg logic is in effect here. You clearly aren't the brightest but even you should know that this race will be the closest yet. Neither console having a huge lead over the other in pre sale numbers. Maybe you should look them up, but that would make too much sense, which is something you've proven to be less than adequate at.
Everyone on ttg is retarded (maybe)= your logic. That's how you sound.

LiquidvladeLavish Probably because of all the negative attentions Microsoft got when they announced some features of the Xbone that not many people liked.
If that was the case it would've been back in June/July/August. It clearly stated in the article it was because Sony bundled the PlayStation 3 Slim with Grand Theft Auto V.
What kind of logic is that? "Oh Xbox One has a feature I don't like, better not buy a 360!"
Wtf are you smoking.
