errr there were no rivals in April, what a crazy spin

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they sold the PS3 / Wii in April.

"Microsoft has reported that ‘Splinter Cell: Conviction’ – an Xbox 360 exclusive – sold nearly half a million copies during the month; thereby notching the top slot among rivals."

tell me what come out in april to compete with Splinter Cell: Conviction??? i want to know the rivals please

???

first: The article is mainly about total revenue. And the hardware + software made more revenue than any other product. That is quite an achievement considering the entry price is $199 (and according to some Sony-fans almost the only version sold) and the PS3 starts at $299 or even more for the 250GB version. And the Nintendo Wii sold way more hardware than the Xbox 360. So the Xbox 360 must have really strong revenues for the software and accessories.

second: What do you expect a PR-guy to say when their game is on No.1? "We had the best selling game, but this is not a big deal because the competition didn't release any good games this month..."

third: A game can be a competitor even though it released some time ago. Check Mario Kart some time ago.
