I found these sales numbers for video game systems to be pretty interesting. The information is from April 20 over at http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6177853.html
For the current gen sales during the month of March they look about like I expected:
Wii: 259k
XB360: 199k
PS3: 130k
What really interested me was the volume of sales for the PS2 which outsold the Wii (probably due to availability and a recent price drop) with 280k units sold.
Now if we combine the PS2 and Wii sales then we have numbers that match the NDSL pushing 508k units in the same month with the PSP selling a meagre 180k.
I am interested to see how this plays out over the long term and to see if there is ever any real competition for Nintendo in the realm of handheld gaming.
Please note this post is based on facts I find interesting and not intended to bash any console. I encourage commentary in the same vein.
