As was evidenced in the NPD October figures<\/a>, Sony<\/a> did not have a great month. While the console giant decided to keep their exact sales figures to themselves, it has been confirmed that the system was outsold by both the Xbox 360<\/a> (who dominated the field) and also the Nintendo 3DS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps catching sight of the elephant in the room, Sony has issued a statement, no doubt in reaction to the sales report. Sony chose to ignore aforementioned elephant however, focusing instead on their holiday software lineup, as well as mentioning that inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood has broken PSN<\/a> digital sales records.<\/p>\n

This statement came via Senior Director of Corporate Communications\u00a0 at SCEA, who said, “PlayStation 3<\/a> is primed for a great holiday season as this month’s NPD report shows. We’re seeing increased momentum in our 1st and 3rd-party software sales at retail, which are up 5% over last year, and we’re demonstrating the industry’s strongest software line up with blockbusters like Uncharted 3, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Battlefield 3, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and new Move<\/a> titles Everybody Dance and Carnival Island. On the digital front, we are also pleased to report that inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood is the fastest selling PS3 digital game ever launched on PSN.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frankly I\u2019m surprised he managed to say so much around that mouthful of sour grapes.<\/p>\n
