According the June's NPD figures, Nintendo is still way on top, the DS selling 561,000 units for the month and the Wii catching second place with 381,000 units sold. Sony's PSP actually did quite well, falling in third place with 290,000 sales, the Xbox 360 with 198,000 sales and the Playstion 2 with 270,000 sales. The Playstation 3 gets beat again, with only 98,000 sales, the Game Boy Advance beating it yet again with 113,000 sold.

According to June NPD figures, Microsoft sold nearly 100,000 more Xbox 360s than Sony sold PlayStation 3s, but both consoles' sales still lag far behind the money-printing Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo's console and handheld DS once again dominated the charts. Nintendo DS sold through a whopping 561,000 units for the month and Wii pulled in another 381,000 believers, making the two systems the number-one and number-two best-sellers respectively in June. Xbox 360 sales, at 198,000, were nearly doubled by Wii.

Sony's PSP also performed surprisingly well, with sales undoubtedly spurred by a recent price drop. The handheld managed 290,000 in sales, which was good enough to nab the third best-selling spot for the month.

Game Boy Advance attracted another 113,000 people and, finally, PlayStation 3 continued to trail behind all competitors with 98,000 in sales -- a number that is up over previous months, but still well behind Wii or Xbox 360. PlayStation 2 sold 270,000 units, earning it the number-four position.

      Yea im here but you won't get flaming from me. But i will say this, June doesn't count, and it sure as hell doesn't matter to my point which was july sales. But hey keep thinking the ps3 isn't doing well. And why are we comparing a handheld to a Console seriously.

      And yes it is Silver the ps3 is doing great in most of the world, i can't say the same to XBox. The wii well there is nothing to say about it than its still doing better than the xbox.

    PSP is understandable.

    TO reply to the last comment, yes. It is very sad that GBAs sell more than PS3s if DSs have GBA slots.

    Give the PS3 time and it will possibly even outsell the 360. 2008 should be the year for PS3.

    Its still a console. It doesn't mater if one came out earlier or not. if the PS3 was so great, by now, they should be winning FB.


    Anywho, I'm proud for Nintendo. They brought gaming to a whole new level and are one of the most popular because of that. I hope they just keep getting fresh Idea's to be even better. Let the PS3 and 360 fight over what ever they want. the DS and the Wii are great systems and are only beginning to shine.
