MICROSOFT: "We sold nearly THREE TIMES as many consoles as PS3 last week"

xbox-360-outselling-ps3-three-times-uk-sales.jpgChris Lewis, Microsoft's UK vice-president of Interactive Entertainment, has just revealed the true DEPTHS of MISERY that Sony is currently experiencing in the UK, telling Edge that Xbox 360 outsold PS3 by "almost three times" last week.

To put that into some sort of context, almost three times as many is well over twice as many, and nearly six times as many as 50% more. Here's the full quote from Chris, so you know this isn't just internet lies...

"We've seen this huge uptick in our velocity, which has taken us considerably ahead, certainly of PlayStation 3, right across the region. In some geographies, the U.K. specifically, we were almost three times Sony's volume last week, for instance."

Thanks, Chris. We know full well you only slipped that one in knowing that "the internet" would leap on it and blow it out of all proportion - and we're more than happy to oblige.
