A few surprises this month, as the Playstation 3 pushed a solid number of consoles, effectively beating rival Xbox 360. This is obviously due to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 which gave the console a much-needed boost, but expect the numbers to decrease by next month. Microsoft's console is in an awkward position as the once #1 selling console of this generation is now standing in fifth place, far behind the PSP, and way too close to the PS2! Which brings me to my second point: I did say "once #1 selling console of this generation" because as of this month, Nintendo's shiny white box has officially overtaken the 360 in total sales in the US, even though the Wii launched a year later. And what can we say about the DS, which has been outselling all of the above by a huge margin, and this, since as far as I can remember.

Nintendo DS: 783,000
Nintendo Wii: 666,700
PlayStation 3: 405,500
PlayStation Portable: 337,400
Xbox 360: 219,800
PlayStation 2: 188,798

Thanks to the NPD Group for providing us with monthly sales.
