The PlayStation 3 outsold the Xbox 360 in the U.S. in the first five months of 2008 after trailing Microsoft's console in 2007. New exclusive games, such as ``Metal Gear Solid 4,'' and the rise of Sony's Blu-ray as the dominant high-definition DVD player may enable PlayStation 3 to hold onto its lead.

As I said, due to various factors the PS3 is off to a slow start but things are looking up for Sony. As prices for the console drop and the PS3 network finds more content to push, the PS3 console will gain the respect it deserves.
June #s just came out. US sales

PS3 - 405,500 units

360 - 219,800 units

The PS3 has always outsold the 360 in Japan by at least factor of 10X. The PS3 has been outselling the XBOX 360 in Europe sicne last October.
