Console Wars - And The Winner Is…

ps3, wii, xbox 360The Nintendo Wii once again takes top spot in the battle of the consoles as its console sales hit a massive 432,000 units sold just last month! Now that’s what I call popular! The second spot goes to the Sony Playstation 2 console, which is still very popular amongst gamers. Playstation 2 is also a hell of a lot cheaper than its expensive counterpart the Playstation 3. Speaking of the Playstation 3 – well, Sony is finally starting to move some units as sales for this console came in at an impressive 280,000 units sold last month. After lagging behind for months, the Playstation 3 is back on people’s radar screens. If you ask me, I believe it has something to do with the Blu-ray winning the HD standard war. With Blu-ray as the new standard, it is definitely going to be a major boost in sales for the Playstation 3. In a respectable last place for console sales is the Xbox 360 with just 254,600 units sold last month.

Keep in mind that the above figures represent a month’s worth of sales and could change next month or the month after that. It’s interesting to see how the console wars pans out. Keep your eye out for next month’s sales figures.
