Sony's hardware sales figures came in at 17,434 units while the Xbox 360 just edged it with 17,637 units sold.
The reason for the jump in sales is thought to the the release of Namco Bandai's exclsuive Xbox 360 game "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation".
Nintendo's Wii still easily beat both competitors though - with sales of 37,617, nearly 20,000 over the Xbox's successful figures.
