 The results for the NPD group's gaming market tally this June are in and as expected, it was a huge month for the Sony PlayStation 3 and its flagship title Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.The game boosted console sales way above the platform's monthly average and put it solidly at second place in the console war. The Nintendo DS and the Nintendo Wii are still leading all hardware products in the US with stellar figures. The DS finished the month with more purchases than expected while the Wii sold a bit less than predicted. The Microsoft Xbox 60 sank to last place with its below-expectation performance even with the release of Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden 2. Check out the list below for complete rankings and figures. Hardware

» the MGS4 effect
Considering that MGS4 was the PS3s single most anticipated title this year, it is a SAD ASS month for the ps3 when it only outpaces the 360 by 185 thousand.
Spin the numbers however you want, but you bet your ass Sony was expecting better than that. That is a huge level of under performance.

» you knows
what's sad? for several months now the 360 has nothing to call "home turf" as it is getting beat even in the US by a console which is more expensive that "has no games" and is "just copying the xbox live"...
the 360 has nothing... all it got going for it was a headstart and look around you buddy... a 360 dies every minute one gets played.
spin that all you want.

"spin that all you want."
Oh snap!!!
I agree. So does MS. The proof is in the pricing. If 360 was at least #2 average do you think all these prices drops would be happening? Hell NO!

I don't know about you, but here in Canada the MGS4 bundles had no trouble selling out. Unfortunately I waited too long so by the time I looked around, there were none to be found. If Sony had anticipated this, sales figures would be much higher.

"MGS4 sales listed here DO NOT include copies purchased with consoles bundled with the game."
Sony already said they were sending out more on the blog, but these particular sales don't even include the bundle so its already "much higher" if you want to include them.

Don't listen to the first comment . Dumbass doesn't know what he's saying . Anyways finally Sony got its things together. The xbox is going down the drain for sure . Especially in Japan since no good games come out for it .

Sorry for being a tw@, but they just round to the nearest 1000. Ninja Gaiden must have had more sales.
I just spoiled your joke. Sorry.

» sad...
freakin sad folks and their console wars.
GO GET A LIFE OR GET LAID YOU ALL!
WHO CARES if you like Sony/MS/etc... better. Or if weather you think its better or not.
If any one of these are as bad as ANY of u losers are saying then why are they selling in hundreds of thousands?
And IF these figures are even accurate, WHO CARES!
Some ppl like MS some like Sony, and some even likes nintendo. LET THEM!
Just because one is a tad bit better in performance, graphics, etc... doesn't mean it's far superior than the other.
It's what the gamers do with it that makes ANY game/console memorable!
X360 VS PS3 VS Wii = WHO CARES!
PSP VS DS = WHO CARES!
It's idiots like some ppl here that companies have manipulated in such that EVEN these kind of topic gets you all convinced that one is better than the other.
you want an objective/owners point of view.
I personally own all these consoles so here is a REALISTIC opinion.
Most ppl buy Wii cos it's cheap as chips. games are EASY to play. AND it's features are good enough for newbs/parents/kids to awe upon.
X360 and PS3 is pretty much the same. One might have one game that the other doesn't. Graphics on PS3 is a lil better than x360 but X360 has ALOT more games that the PS3. Which is better? GET BOTH!
PSP has better games/graphics/gameplay than the NDS, but the NDS has ALOT more games. both are cheap and both pretty much even when it comes to 'fun' factor.
GOD, now just give it a rest...
