Analyst was wrong on PS3 and XBox 360 sales

Well known game analyst Michael Pachter predicted that, because of the price drop, the PS3 will out sell the 360 in the month of July. This just in at Joystiq and the numbers are in from NPD. This month the Wii out sold any console including its very own Nintendo DS, but we want to look at the PS3 vs XBox 360 sales. PS3 sold 159k units as the 360 sold 170k units. Almost there Pachter but no cigar. Maybe it was about to happen since usually the 360 sells 2x more but this time came close. Probably the counter price drop of Microsoft made the difference.
