The PlayStation 3's domination of console sales this month surprised absolutely no one not even Microsoft but its success shouldn't be overlooked simply because it was expected. The latest NPD figures mark a big victory for Sony in the hardware arena, even managing to beat out the dominant Wii by about 30,000 units. While Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg correctly noted that consoles typically see a "short term bump" after a price cut, the Xbox 360 was priced down for September as well, and didn't see the same dramatic jump that the PS3 did. Possible reasons could include its sleeker look and strong fall line-up, along with the PS3 price cut being more dramatic. Of course, the Wii's price cut didn't go into effect until the end of September, so for next month's numbers we're likely to see the Nintendo console pulling ahead again. For September, the increased sales for almost all systems boosted the hardware sales to an 87% increase over August.

nice keep it up ps3 lol. get ahead of the nintendo ds. i cant believe the ps2 is still selling lol well that much

where you get this info ???

Playstation 2 is the most used console in the world

Well duh. A new major version of the PS3 came out (slim). Half of the people that bought a new one probably already had a PS3 obese. Although we are doing better, its not that much better. But idk 'bout you guys but kids all over my school are saying that nobody should buy 360 games because they are making a new one soon (which is not confirmed), so if its like that all over, I expect to see PS3 on top by mid-2010.

i got my infor from 1up.com and the new systems are rumored for 2012 also found on 1up.com and pretty soon the Wii will be back on top but just for everyone saying go ps3 this is the 1st time all year it has out sold the Wii or 360

my ex Wolfenstein clan, HIGH. You can trust their reviews and information, they take it very seriously.

Ps3 all da way.
