PSP - 230,000
360* - 230,000

Software

10. NDS Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games - 133,000

^The numbers to the right represent units sold.

*All incarnations of the product line (DS vs. DS Lite, etc.)

Looks like the competition is tightening around here. The PS3 numbers look impressive; it appears a price drop was what Sony needed, now it can compete reasonably with the 360. Its closeness with the Wii numbers seem worrisome at first, until you realize that the PS3 does not have supply problems and the Wii does. Wii Play continues to do well, which goes without saying; I’m impressed with the DS game sales, myself, I had doubts (for some reason) that the NDS version of Olympic Games would do that great. I guess it’s all about the install base. Speaking of which, look at the sales for the Wii version of Guitar Hero; is that the casual market finally getting their hands on it, now that Christmas has passed?

Here are some other interesting software numbers:

January (not a comprehensive list; numbers are approximated)

360 Halo 3 - ~127,000
PS3 Burnout Paradise - ~85,000
Wii Carnival Games - ~80,000
NDS Advance Wars: Days of Ruin - ~80,000
Wii No More Heroes - ~65,000
PS3 Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune - ~55,000
360 Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - ~50,000
Wii Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles - ~30,000

Lifetime-to-date (not a comprehensive list; numbers are approximated)

Wii Wii Play - ~4,400,000

360 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - ~3,300,000
Wii Super Mario Galaxy - ~2,700,000
Wii Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - ~1,500,000
PS3 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - ~1,100,000
360 Rock Band - ~960,000
Wii Carnival Games - ~655,000
Wii Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - ~625,000
PS3 Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune - ~380,000
Wii Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles - ~300,000

Looks like casual games and hardcore games are both doing pretty well for themselves on Wii, as long as you blur the line with games like Super Mario Galaxy. Also note the high Carnival Games sales.

Haha, and someone tried to tell me PSP is outselling DS now.
Well, I mean, MAYBE now, like this week, but I highly doubt it.
