Posted by in News | 0 comments

It’s one of my favorite times of the month, NPD sales are released. Just a reminder that these are NOT the Canadian numbers.

The DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL take the top spot this month. The 360 and PS3 both very respectable numbers and the PSP was almost outsold by the PS2. Seriously? why are people STILL buying that console?

1.Nintendo DS 700.8K
2.Wii 557.5K
3.Xbox 360 338.4K
4.PlayStation 3 313.9K
5.PSP 119.9K
6.PlayStation 2 118.3K

Dear Kratos, thanks for the awesome combos you allowed me to pull while slaying Greek gods. Check out my review here. I’m playing a Final Fantasy game for the first time in my life and I’m very much enjoying it so far and god damn does it look stunning on the Playstation 3,No wonder it outsold the 360 version!. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is still my go to multiplayer game and props goes out to Dice for making a great game.
