lol, 360 outsold PS3 by 900, still terrible sales for both. Great sales for GTA IV, I can't believe how few PS2 owners decided to upgrade to a 360 or PS3 for it. PS3 had GT5:P too, I know it's not that big in the States, but I would have thought some hardcore GT fans would have picked up a PS3 for it.

I DON'T CARE!!!! FIRST TO 10M IN US WINS!!!

 yeah, kinda puzzling that a month of biggest release this year would sell LESS console than the month (last one) with absolutely no good title.

 

Something is wrong here.

Good point, Kingofwale. To be honest, I hadn't even noticed how large the disparity was. I'm sure we'll know more in the future.

By the way: anyone who twists the knife will meet my wrath. Let that be known here. I'm very eager.

The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 have many great games. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 have many great games. The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 have many great games. Sales don't change that. Remember that, all of you.

Last month was a 5 week period.  I wouldn't be that surprised if there was a mistake here, but it appears that these are the numbers they tracked and it doesn't look like there are any changes coming.

I'd love to know how NPD come up with these figures, cause the stores we cover must be in the huge minority here.

 I'll be laughing if May shows a massive "delayed from GTA" HW boost that brings PS360 numbers up closer to April/May VGC numbers.

 I agree, Bestbuy I worked at had considerable PS360 sold in past 2 weeks, Yes, we do also get a HUGe shipment of Wii, but it could not change the fact PS360 sales has clearly increased also.
