Xbox 360 sales rocketed up 32 per cent over the weekend, official UK retail monitor GFK-ChartTrack has confirmed to MCV.

The console outsold the PS3, which saw an eight per cent drop in its sales compared to the previous weekend.

MCV broke the news last night that Xbox 360 had hit six million unit sales in Europe this week.

Microsoft brought the entry-level SRP for the Arcade console down to £129.99 on Friday, with the standard 60GB 360 priced at £169.99 - leaving it with two consoles under Wii's bargain £179.99 pricetag.
