Pretty impressive numbers. The PS3, in particular, has more than doubled year-on-year sales. It still couldn't catch up to the 360 though.
I'm now looking forward to seeing if the 360 did indeed beat the PS3 3:1 in the UK. I very much doubt it, especially if it is that close in the US.

Great great numbers for all 3 platforms.
Cant believe how much this generation has changed since the previous one though  .

I prefer pie charts. Without the chart bit. Just the pie. Meat and tatty.

I just bought a PS3 so we're a 2 console family for the first time. I have to say I'm impressed. In many ways it makes the 360 look a little childish, the NXE vs XMB for starters. In other ways it seems they've dropped the ball. Why won't it recognise my iPod, or 8g memory stick and what's with the 10 year old controller with analogue sticks in the wrong place? Then, gamewise, Killzone 2 is undoubtably the most stunning looking game I've ever played and it scales heights the 360 will never achieve. Uncharted 2 looks utterly fantastic; gameplay seems a little linear at the moment but then I'm used to playing sandbox games these days. But with all that, let's not talk about 3rd party titles, it's embarrassing. And those analogue sticks? Well they're in the wrong place, but beautifully subtle when compared to the 360. I'm very happy with my purchase overall; I shall always buy 3rd party titles on 360 and only take the cream of the PS3, enjoying it's Blu Ray, iPlayer and competent web browser skills in the meantime. I really didn't think they'd be so different! |

I'm more interested in worldwide sales.
I'm sure PS3 is outselling Xbox 360.
I wish there was monthly NPD for worldwide not just USA. |

Surely you jest? 
Just to nitpick: The US is not a continent. It is hower the most populous country in North America (and third most populated country in the world).
That said, I agree that total global sales are the supreme authority on where a product falls on the sales podium. Analysing specific markets is useful in terms of developing that market and new or ongoing sales campaigns.

That's nice however, you being "sure" is not a satisfactory replacement for empirical fact as these things go.

Sony should be very pleased to be so close behind the '360, particularly in the current financial climate where consumers are more likely to buy cheaper products. |

Yeah, whom exactly keeps on buying them? People who want a DVD player that has access to an extensive and readily affordable gaming library? People in developing countries where the PS2 may still carry more clout than in more developed markets?

There is that but then the 360 should be outselling the Wii on that premise surely?

That's because they know Zanussi's new, more accessible, one touch washing machine is going to blow them all out of the water. Even kids and young men can use it!
Although I go for miele personally. Hate these other cheap ass, noisy products. I want prestige!! |

Er, but if you use the graphs on that site, and set it to just America, it reckons the PS3 is about double the 360. Completely different from the NPD data. Vgchartz is not reliable. |

Go enjoy your cheap ass white machine, not so cheap when you add all the "optional extras" like a door seal, water pipes and wireless plug.
LG do this all out of the box and the quality shines through. You go enjoy your piece of shite with its noisy spin cycle and flashing red lights of washing finished.
Where was i going with this again?

I'd forgotten that the Arcade was cheaper than the Wii! 
But I'm baffled by the Wii's popularity anyway; if the Arcade were more expensive than a Wii, the 360 would still be the better choice. |
