Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg tells Next-Gen that top retailers had reported Xbox 360 hardware outages during Black Friday week, as the new Arcade package performs above expectations.
Microsoft announced Thursday that that Xbox 360 sold 310,000 units for the week of November 18 in the US. This compares favorably to the year-younger Nintendo Wii, which sold 350,000 units during the same time frame.
It's highly likely that the gap could've been wider if Nintendo was able to keep up with the Wii's runaway demand.
Microsoft said that it outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 2 to 1 last week, according to retail estimates.
