The Xbox 360 is the best-selling console of this generation in the UK, with 8.4 million sold.

MCV reports that Microsoft's console is regularly outselling all its rivals and will overtake Nintendo's Wii in a matter of days, according to Chart-Track.

Despite this, the Xbox 360 isn't the UK's best-selling console of all time just yet, that title is still held by the PlayStation 2 which has shifted over 10 million units since it was launched back in 2000. At a global level too, last we heard Sony's PlayStation 3 was just pipping the Xbox 360 in terms of boxes shipped.

Nevertheless, it's a positive sign for the company as it prepares to launch the Xbox One this November, as recent pre-order figures suggested Sony's PlayStation 4 had the edge. Whether or not this has changed following Microsoft's new policies regarding connectivity and used games has yet to be revealed.
