August 2008 NPD Sales Numbers

Guess what? Nintendo came out on top… again. Shocker, I know. The DS was the number one selling with the Wii sliding into second. PSP took third place while the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 by about 10k units to take fourth. Bringing up the rear was the PS2.

  • Nintendo DS: 518,300
  • Wii: 453,000
  • PSP: 253,000
  • Xbox 360: 195,200
  • PlayStation 3: 185,400
  • PlayStation 2: 144,100

To the surprise of no one, Madden 09 was the top selling title for August, with the 360 and PS3 versions occupying the top two spots. You can check out all the software numbers after the break.

    The DS has been taking it’s turn in casual games for some time and nothings better than taking your casual game on the go, thus the DS selling so much. Not to mention there are also some kick-ass games for it, ‘The World Ends with You’ for one and a few others.

    I wonder when the PS2 will really die, it needs more PS2 exclusives to keep it somewhat strong, not multiplatform games.
