360 back over the Ps3.
I guess the Madden fans have spoken.
Wii seems to be slowing down finally though even with 360 for software in top 10 this month.
Madden Wii I think just did better than all the Cube versions.

If I had to speculate, I would say a lot of Madden fans prefer the 360 version and bought one for it. I predict PS3 sales will go back above, even with the lowered price of the Arcade SKU.

Of course, anything is peanuts compared to DS sales. Holy SHIT.

And what about Wii sales? Sold more than 360 and PS3 combined. It won't take that long until it has a 50% market share (worldwide).
