Playstation 3's Currently Neck-And-Neck With Microsoft's XBOX 360 In The US.

The Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 are virtually like-for-like in the American market right now, with the Playstation 3 shifting 181k units and the 360 185k.

What'll be worrying for Sony is the diminishing effect of the Playstation Portable - which currently rules Japan but is faltering in the US and Europe. Only 65.5k units of the PSP platform were sold this month, a worrying projection for Sony.

Despite having a strongly under-rated life, perhaps its time for Sony to act and offer that follow-up to the PSP that's been rumoured over the past few days.

Numbers are after the jump.

  • DS – 440.8K
  • Wii – 277.2K
  • Xbox 360 – 185.4K
  • PS3 – 180.8K
  • PSP – 65.5K
