Another big month for the Wii, selling more than double the number of either of its competitors. The PS3 made a strong showing, coming in well higher than the Xbox 360. We’ll have to see if Metal Gear Solid 4 will make the trend continue next month.
Wii: 675.1K <down> 39.1K (-5.5%)
DS: 452.6K <up> 37.8K (+9.1%)

The NPD Group released their list of the top 10 selling games of all time. I’m a bit confused by the list, since games like Halo 3 aren’t listed. Here’s what they have:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 2004 – 9.4 million
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - 2007 – 8.2 million
Madden NFL 07 - […]
This is big news. Not many games since 2000 have done this and those are games like WoW, Wii Fit, DS Titles, and The Sims. Halo 3 has only sold around 8 million. To be fair, COD4 is on 2 consoles and Halo is just on 360. Call of Duty 5 is rumored to be another […]

We got the monthly NPD numbers last night showing off console sales for the month of April. The Wii continues its utter dominance of the console market, selling more than all non-Nintendo consoles combines. Yes, combined. The Xbox 360 and PS3 sold essentially the same numbers for the month.
Wii: 714.2K <down> 6.8K (0.94%)
DS: 414.8K <down> […]
The year and a half head start has a lot to do with it, but this number does not mean that the 360 is a better console, but this is significant for gaming in general. These fuckers are expensive and it means that people are shelling out the dough. It also means that the gaming […]
So everyone thought that GTA IV would do well, but Guinness was keeping their eye on this one for some time now. Looks like Rockstar with GTA IV has spanked the previous record for the highest grossing video game in it’s first 24 hours on the market. This title previously was held by the MS […]
