Take a look at March sales:

  1. Wii - 721k, 144k/wk
  2. DS - 698k, 140/wk
  3. PSP - 297k, 59k/wk
  4. X360 - 262k, 52k/wk
  5. PS3 - 257k, 51k/wk
  6. PS2 - 216k, 43k/wk

Now April:

  1. Wii - 714k, 178k/wk (+24%)
  2. DS - 415k, 104k/wk (-26%)
  3. PSP - 193k, 48k/wk (-19%)
  4. X360 - 188k, 47k/wk (-10%)
  5. PS3 - 187k, 47k/wk (-8%)
  6. PS2 - 124k, 31k/wk (-28%)

Notice that the DS, PSP and PS2 suffered huge declines? The PS3/360 sales declines are much less than the weekly declines of the DS/PSP/PS2. That means the PS3/360 outperformed them for April by a fairly significant margin.

What would cause this outperformance of the DS/PSP/PS2? It has to be GTAIV, so yes indeed sales were improved over what could have been an otherwise dreadful month.
