holy crap PS3 BOMBED. That is really unexpected. Lookslike VGC has to remove a 50k from PS3 sales and add 30k to 360 sales.
Massive sales 2 months on from price cut.



Oh, PS3 is overtracked. >_>

Not a good month for Sony at all.



Maybe.... NPD had no way to track "Week 0" numbers on LBP?

Maybe?

Though even then we'd be over eh?



Eh... I'll wait for VGChartz.

Anywho, when it comes to interesting results, NPD never seems to disappoint. Looking forward to the further breakdown of the numbers.

The difference smaller then last year but this time 360 is selling huge in Others which mean PS3 have no chance of winning this holiday season. And poor LBP sales.

Looks like americans prefer to buy cheap things.
Atleast for now.

PS3 sales normal - most expensive console.
x360 sales good - pricecut.
Wii sales great - casuals all over the way.
