Well, microsoft said 371k was 40% of the total hardware sales.

So that leaves 445k to be divided with Wii and PS3, right? VGChartz number is overtracking then already, since it's numbers (PS3 + Wii) are 412k



Good there is still hope for this year for decent hardware sales!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Should be 556.5k for PS3+Wii unless my math skills fails me.

 

Edit: Beaten...



Ps3 & Wii sold around 550k. So Wii or PS3 also undertracked.



Since 360 was #1, the worst selling console did >185.5k, so both PS3 and Wii are undertracked for certain.

Microsoft revealed its hardware sales for the month of March today, noting that 371,000 units were sold in the US during the month, making the console the top selling system for the 15th consecutive month.

It was also the 13th consecutive month Xbox 360 has held more than 40 percent of the current-generation console market share. Microsoft said that total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in March reached $430 million, "the most for any console in the U.S. and more than the spend on PS3 and Wii combined."

The company expects to hold the momentum throughout the rest of the year; Microsoft said it plans to "deliver a strong portfolio of blockbuster titles, experiences and add-on content, including additions to the famed Halo and Fable franchises and groundbreaking experiences like Kinect Sesame Street TV and Nat Geo TV."
