What the hell has Microsoft done that makes the Xbox 360 up so much YOY in America when they were coming off a massive price drop last year but not this year?

• Netflix?
• Movies on Demand?
• Live FM?
• Something else?

because it did have a price cut..??

Top ten software:

1- Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver Version = 186,791 / 1,481,559
2- Wii Sports = 137,733 / 32,766,951
3- God of War III = 105,908 / 990,086
4- New Super Mario Bros. Wii = 96,932 / 6,183,943
5- Wii Fit Plus = 83,784 / 4,912,816
6- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 = 78,444 / 1,243,953
7- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare = 256,937 / 7,001,702
8- Final Fantasy XIII = 54,604 / 884,264
9- Just Dance = 48,199 / 944,409
10- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = 47,748 / 3,925,235

Price cut was in 2008, this is 2010 vs 2009.

Great numbers all around and good to see that PS3 is making stock now!

BTW anyone else wondering if VGChartz is maybe undertracking the 360 by just a little bit? They were off by a couple hundred thousand last month according to NPD and I can't help but wonder it may be true this month as well.

Either way good to see console sales are healthy for the big 3!

^a little overtracked maybe?

PSP in america is really becoming ridiculous... it's almost like the Xbox 360 in japan.

Sony must do something... or pull the plug, because the DS is serioulsly raping the poor thing.

and what evidence is there of that?  Last month the 360 beat the Wii in North America according to NPD if anything VGChartz will be slightly under, and def not over.

It probably wouldn't account for all the difference, but I wonder how much effect the current/recent retailer discounts are having.  The Arcade was at $169 in a few instances, etc.  The Arcade is $189, no tax, no shipping, with a free wireless controller thrown in, on Amazon right now, in fact.

Also, 360 is a little down in others YoY, but I doubt it was a matter of allocating to one location or another, as I don't think they're selling out in Others.

Healthy sales all around.  And they say casual (App Store, Facebook, Solitaire) games are killing consoles.

IGN VGCHARTZ IZ PS3 BIASED!!!
