According to figures collected by the NPD Group, the Xbox 360 saw a strong sales boost in August, most likely driven by the recent price drops on the console and upcoming hype for Halo 3.
For the month the 360 sold 276,000 units, a hefty jump from the 170,000 sold in July. The boost means the console outsold the PS2 and PSP for the month, the first time that has occurred in quite some time.
On August 8th, Microsoft cut the price across the board on their console and the strategy seems to be working. That, mixed with the hot selling new Madden title and the upcoming Halo 3 title could mean a couple more good upcoming months for Microsoft. The console sold almost double the amount that Sony did for the month with their PlayStation 3.
