May NPD- Some Go Up, Some Go Down. The Rollercoaster of Games
Not as impressive as I imagined.
The Wii actually went down in comparision to Smash and Kart months. And Wii Fit had a slower start than both of those games. Hell, Kart outsold Wii Fit this month. So much for Wii being only for the casuals. PS3 sees a decent bump. And its first clear cut victory over the 360. Shall be interesting what MGS 4 does for it in June.

Re: May NPD
Wow, the Wii still outsold the 360, PS3 and PSP which only tallied around 576k. Still a great month!

Re: May NPD
PS3 - 4,450,000
Wii - 10,180,000
X360 - 10,270,000
Wii Play - 5,760,000
Brawl - 3,190,000
Guitar Hero 3 Wii - 2,200,000
Mario Kart - 1,907,000
GTA4 360 - 2,721,000
GTA4 PS3 - 1,442,000
More numbers (Well totals)
Looks like the Wii will overtake the 360 LTD in North America right about now.
Also got to love the meltdowns on forums.
"Coming in at number 12 on the top-sellers list, We Ski from Namco, which utilizes the Wii Fit balance board, was able to captilize on Wii Fit's cross-promotions in circulars and at retail."

Re: May NPD
YEAH! PS3 beat the 360 by 22,000! <3
I expected the Wii to be higher honestly, but it still did amazing.

That's an interesting question.
And there really are just two x-factors in my head.
1) Will either console see a price drop?
I think a price drop will help the PS3 a LOT more than it would the 360 at this point. MS is really dropping their momentum at this point.
2) IF games prove to be the system seller.
Halo didn't really prove to be a system mover. GTA has proven not to really move consoles. MGS 4 will move consoles, but it will iffy since it also comes with the console. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gears 2 will have to show they won't sell to the fanbase already.
Anyhow, I think at the end of the day Ps3 will sell more it has more ground to move on.
