"PS3’s record-breaking debut for a home console comfortably beats the previous top seller Nintendo Wii, which sold 105,000 after its frantic launch weekend in December last year. Fellow format rival Xbox 360 racked up an estimated 70,000 at launch in December 2005."

Winner!

Sony staggered the region launches, and also had enough stock. xbox sold less on launch but its sales probably carried on for months after whereas i can see the sony sales tailing off
