I wonder how Sony Defence Force plans on spinning these numbers, since the PS family was not the highest selling 'combination' this month.

That's easy... PS2+PS3+PSP > X360... barely...

 


Nevermind, I did my math wrong. LoL.

Seems like Halo sales really brought down Wii sales. I'm worried for the XBox360 though. When 3rd parties see how well the 1st party software does it may scare them off from trying to compete.


Er, what? 360 third party games sell better than 3rd party games from any other console. Unless your post is sarcasm... hard to tell on the internet.


I agree. The only two consoles that have high first party sales compared to third party are Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PS3-and even those aren't selling too well.

No you didn't! DS+Wii was bigger than PS2+PS3+PSP.

 Well, August NPD number for Wii was 403k. September was 501k.

Your sarcasm detector is still working. Might need just a little tune-up. 



I guess mine is off as well.



ok that's it, NPD is biased, ps3 way too low.

The official Sony response:

According to NPD data, September 2007 was a strong month for the PlayStation brand, which showed a 13% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year in the US with total sales of $337 million for the month. PS3 continues to maintain an overall increase in sales, with 119K units sold at retail for the month. Also, with the new $399 40GB PLAYSTATION 3 SKU hitting store shelves on November 2nd, a new $499 price point for the 80GB model effective immediately, and highly anticipated titles available this holiday, such as Racthet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the PS3 is poised for very strong performance through the holiday season and into 2008.

The PSP had a great month, selling 285K units for the month. Success at retail is due to the release of the new slimmer and lighter PSP in North America which includes video-out capabilities for $169, the success of the Star Wars and Daxter Entertainment Packs, and the release of great titles such as Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow.

PS2 sales remained very strong for the month of September, selling 215K units, making it one of the best-selling consoles on the market.

Heh, sounds like Sony should read your signature.
