The PS3 looks to be gaining some ground since it’s price drop last month. In June, Sony’s console sold roughly half of the Xbox 360’s 200k units. In July, they closed the gap a ton. Neither one can catch the Wii though, which is now the fastest selling console of all time. Here’s how they all stacked up in July:
- Wii - 425k
- Nintendo DS - 405k
- PlayStation 2 - 222k
- PlayStation Portable - 214k
- Xbox 360 - 170k
- PlayStation 3 - 159k
- Game Boy Advance - 87k
On the software side of things, NCAA Football 08 took the top spot for July, followed closely by Guitar Hero 80s.
- NCAA Football 08—360—EA—397K
- Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80s—PS2—Activision—339K
- Wii Play w/remote—Wii—Nintendo—278K
- NCAA Football 08—PS2—EA—236K
- Mario Party 8—Wii—Nintendo—177K

- Transformers: The Game—PS2—Activision—143K

We’ll see how August’s sales go next month, but expect Madden 08 to take the top spot.
