June NPD Sales - PlayStation 3 Soars

I suppose an eye patch wearing hero can indeed make a difference in hardware sales much moreso than any foreign gangster could.  Metal Gear Solid 4 helped the PlayStation 3 pull off its largest monthly win to date over the Xbox 360.  MGS 4 was the highest selling game for the month.

Metal Gear Solid 4

The PS3 managed over 405K consoles while the Xbox 360 registered 219K.  And yes, the Nintendo Wii continues to be mind bottling as it takes over the US lead in consoles sold.  I don’t expect the temporary price adjustment on the Xbox 360 to be a big enough catalyst for Microsoft in the coming months.  A permanent price drop and a more aggressive one should happen.

    ZOMG! I’m one of those numbers for the PS3 sales! XD The PS3 is a decent system and all it needs is some good games. I’ve had the PS1 and the PS2, all Sony needs to do is make the sequels and remakes of games people want and they would sell like crazy. Maybe they’re holding them back for the PS4. O_O Or they could just be deaf….. Yeah I think they need wax remover.
