It looks like Sony’s finally turned the tables on it’s shaky launch. According to a recent article at adage.com, the PlayStation 3 has topped unit sales of the Xbox 360 in January, February and May, and shows no signs of slowing down. Adage attributes the console’s health with the success of the Blu-Ray format and good buzz among consumers. From the post:

“Since the beginning of the year, PS3 has been riding a wave of good news,—including the triumph of its Blu-ray DVD technology, a critical mass of consumers, and a spate of upgraded reviews. But lately Sony itself has gotten more aggressive in helping the system gain traction with new services and features from across its vast electronics and content empire.”

Of course, the Wii has astronomical sales figures and the Xbox 360 had a year head start on Sony’s machine, so the console certainly has a hefty challenge to meet. Still, things have been looking good for Sony fans - and last month’s release of Metal Gear Solid 4 only sweetens the deal.
