Hardware was once again dominated by Nintendo, but not so much the Wii as the DS, which has benefited of late from the new DSi model. Total DS sales came to 538.9K units for the month, while the Wii (which clearly could use a price cut at this point) came in at 252.5K. The disparity between Wii sales and Xbox 360/PS3 sales used to be enormous each month, but not anymore. "Hardware sales have slowed considerably on nearly every platform. The Xbox 360 is the only console system showing a unit sales increase year-to-date, while the NDS has the highest sales of all hardware platforms both for the month, and year-to-date," noted Frazier.

You would think the Wii was performing at PS3 levels after reading that sentence. 

No, you would think the Wii is doing pants compared to last years numbers.
