I'm just happy to see two PSP games in the top ten. Glad someone buys games for the system. The Wii was as expected and it looks like the PS3 is hanging in there with the 360 for console sales. Good times for gamers overall.

PSP is selling pretty well, although God of War and FF7 probably have a lot to do with it.
|
The DS was the number 2 selling system, but didn't have any games in the top 10...wonder what's up with that

Will be interesting to see how GTA4 affects April/May console sales. |

Those Wii numbers are crazy. It's already passed the total number of Gamecubes sold and ought to pass total sales of the original Xbox within a month or two. Two years ago, who would've imagined?

Well that just proves right there that the majority of people are buying the PS3 to be a blu-ray player.

PS3 ARMY OF TWO ELECTRONIC ARTS 224.9K The one and ONLY PS3 game is #10 and sold 1/3 of the 360 version. What are PS3 owners actually buying? Clearly its not games. Theres not that many games available where it could be tough to get a game in the top 10 (see DS and GBA games). I still own 0 PS3 games. Next few months will be interesting. Will MGS4 save the PS3? How will GTAIV sell between cross systems... |

Although just like WiiPlay and Motorstorm we will never truly know how MGS4 really stacks up since it will be a pack in. There won't be any distinction between the individual games sold and systems. |
I can't believe the PS2 is still selling 200K+ a month.
There hasn't really been any big games released for it in a year... God of War 2 was the last one which came out 13 months ago. |

GTA IV will go at least 5:1 for 360.

The MGS Console is pretty damn sweet. I would consider picking it up, and I don't even really want a PS3.

Draven, that bundle does look kind of cool. I didn't know a cheaper bundle was going to come out without the special case/paint job. Thanks for the link! |

Ya, 5:1 is probably high, but I think it will significantly outsell the PS3.
