Monorojo said: Nah, it was 57k, the number this site has is US+Canada for that month i presume. Take a look back, PSP was on top; GBA came relatively close to PSP but no cigar. The question asked that month? When will the GBA crowd start buying DSs? This month is a bit early but almost an exact mirror image. Wii on top, PS2 coming EXTREMELY close to outselling it, and now we ask when will sony drop the price and past PS2 owners start buying the PS3? I know the handheld market =/= console market, but you cannot dismiss the similarities. I'm not spinning anything, im just taking into consideration the past to make sense of the present. It's simply a question of WHEN Playstation 3 becomes a success, not a question of IF. We need software!

You ignore the more important part of my post ... The DS had NO new games released that month and was in the shadow of the PSP because the PSP had launched The month earlier ... If these numbers are correct it will put the PS3 under the sales of: The Dreamcast http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=DC&name2=PS3&type=2&align=0 The Gamecube http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=GC&name2=PS3&type=2&align=0 The N64 http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=N64&name2=PS3&type=2&align=0 The PS2 http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=PS2&name2=PS3&type=2&align=0 The XBox http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=XB&name2=PS3&type=2&align=0 And it will be in a virtual Tie with the XBox 360 at the same point in its life ...
