The thread the numbers were posted in from the above link was originally about Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg’s afternoon tweet in which he let this little sales tidbit out:
@aarongreenberg
Look out hare, here comes the tortoise…post E3 bump & new console drives Xbox 360 sales up 88% as top selling console in June
It sure was the top selling console for June, although from the way he was describing things you’d think the 360 would be more than just slightly ahead thanks to the 360 Slim but everybody seems to have had a good month.
Except the PSP, hell even the PS3 had a pretty outstanding June all things considered. The NPD doesn’t count PS2 sales anymore remember so that’s probably comforting to Sony. Comforting because can you imagine how things would look if the PS2 outsold the PSP at this point?
Like last month it’s not that there’s no new games for the PSP because hell, there are new games for it! And that just brings up an even more depressing fact looking at the sales numbers again; Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker didn’t even manage to crack the top ten. It didn’t even sell more than 150,000 from the looks of things going by the software numbers. Now that’s a damn shame. – The Ben
