Wii 425 k
Nintendo DS 405 k
PlayStation 2 222k
PlayStation Portable 214k
Xbox 360 170k
PlayStation 3 159k
Game Boy Advance 87k
Noted that PS3 sales doubled on a month to month basis after the price drop but was still outsold though marginally by the 360.
The Wii has for the first time outsold the DS and well.. no other way to put it crushed the competition. Outselling the PS3 and 360 combined totals for the month.
IGN's story
he NPD Group released videogame hardware and software sales data for July and, yet again, Nintendo dominated the charts. Amazingly, Wii and DS together outsold final figures for PlayStation 2, PSP, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 combined. Nintendo's two systems have held the number one and two top slots in the hardware sales charts for nine months running.
For the first time since its launch, Wii outsold consistent performer DS. Nintendo's home console was the best-selling hardware in July with approximately 425,000 units moved. DS trailed close behind with 405,000 sales. Surprisingly, Sony's last-generation system, PlayStation 2, was the third best-seller, amassing about 221,000 in sales. PSP sales were at a solid 213,000.
Xbox 360 sales were lower than expected at about 169,000 units. However, even with a semi-price drop, PlayStation 3 could not quite topple Microsoft's numbers. Sony's Blu-ray-equipped console managed only 158,000 in sales - about 50,000 more than it has in previous months, but still not enough to pose a serious threat to Microsoft.
On the software side, the best-selling game in July was NCAA Football 08 for Xbox 360 with nearly 400,000 units. The title was followed by the PS2 Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s with 339,000 in sales. Will Play rounded out the top three with about 280,000 sold. NCAA Football for PS2 amassed 235,000 in sales and Mario PARTY 8 completed the top five with 177,000 in sales. Also notable on the Wii front is that Mario Strikers Charged debuted in the month with more than 100,000 in sales and Resident Evil 4 pulled in another 90,000 or so gamers. The survival-horror port has sold upward of 250,000 units since its release in America.
Of importance to me
Super Mario Strikers Charged sold a little more than 100k in less than a week. Deserves it awesome game.
