Halo 3 Pushes Xbox 360 Into Lead Over Wii

[admin]

Next generation game console sales figures for September are in from the NPD Group. While we don't know what the long term effects will be, it looks very good for Xbox - at least this week. The Xbox 360 comes out on top followed by the Wii while the Playstation 3 is only able to trump the aging handheld Game Boy Advance and again loses to the Playstation 2 by a wide margin. The Xbox 360 numbers are a huge jump from August, which also saw a jump to 276,000 units, up from declining sales number of 198,000 units in June to 170,000 units in July. These sales figures for the 360 are also significant because it trumps what is the Wii’s second best sales month.
