DS and Wii back on top after a shortage last month while the 360 stays ahead of the PS3 even with God of War 3 taking the Top Spot in software sales. Also of note is the fact that the 360 version of FF XIII didn’t quite reach the same level of sales as the PS3 one did, and that the Soul Silver version of the latest Pokemon game performed better than the Hear Gold version.
Oh and the PSP just barely outsold the PS2 for the month. There’s nothing more really you can say about that situation. But hey perhaps Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will give the system one more big push in sales before the PSP 2 shows up sometime in the near future? – The Ben
