In the first four months of 2011, Xbox 360 has seen a 29 per cent year over year increase in sales, which is more than triple the growth of PlayStation 3 and the largest growth of any console on the market.

Eurogamer reports that Xbox 360 is five million consoles ahead of PlayStation 3, which as of last month had sold 50 million units worldwide.

Microsoft released the Xbox info ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, that kicks off Tuesday Australian time in L.A.
