In most months in the US, Xbox 360 titles outsell Wii and PS3 titles combined.
The Indianapolis Colts obviously didn't have the best of luck while playing the eventual Super Bowl XLVII champions in the playoffs this past season, but something tells us a little 360-degree imagery might help turn those frowns upside down -- and that's for both local and long-distance fanatics.
For comparison, an old Dell business desktop gave us 41dBa at idle, a PlayStation 3 gave us 42dBa and an original Xbox 360 (not Elite) gave us 47.8dbA. It's said that a 10dB gain is perceived by human ears as a doubling of volume, which seems about right -- the Xbox sounded far louder than our HTPC.

Dead Island: Riptide will be released on April 23 (US) and April 26 (Europe), published by Deep Silver, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
We all remember how hard it was to get the Xbox 360 last year, which launched worldwide and had approximately 400, 000 available in the US. Sony still thinks they can hit their target of 6 million Playstation 3s available by March 2007 which should be approximately the same time they are available for less than double the MSRP on eBay.
