So the 360 outsells the Wii for the 4th time this generation, and only 5th time the Wii hasn't been the number one console.

I'm not gonna offer any theories as I really don't know what caused the bump/decline either way.

As this is the 360's 3rd best month that isn't a holiday and Wii's, not sure where it lays.

Also think first time, a multiplatform title has sold better on Ps3 at launch, could be wrong.
