For the month, Wii was the winner. Barely. Guess who was number two? I'll give you a hint: It wasn't Microsoft. Indeed, 360 was technically the worst seller of the month, although the race is close.

Shortages. This was expected.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #3 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:20:21 PM »

This is probably due to their being sweet FA for 360s out there. People have come through to my store having looked everywhere else. One dude declared that there's no 360s in western Mass. I suspect this has something to do with Gates' last speech in which he declared that they were going to fix the reliability issues they've been having. Not that this will stop Sfags from reveling in their 'victory' for the time being.

Edit: beaten by 11 seconds. Curse you PD.

Seems 2008 really is the year for the PS3. And here I thought it was just an urban legend.

Bravo to the Sony PR wizards who came up with year of the PS3 meme. I like the PS3 as well, but I just don't get rooting for a game console. It's a consumer electronic device, not a sports team.

It's been that way for like the past 8 months, so it's reasonable to think they'll continue it.

Where's the top 10 software sales?

I mean this cant have anything to do with Bluray winning and PS3 being one of the cheapest high quality bluray players on the market. Its gotta be the games.

There's a guy who comes in to my store and buys ALL our copies of Wii Play. I think the dude is reselling them for a profit though that's kind of odd since it's a really fucking easy 'game' to find.

Wollan is an irritating fuck just 'cause he's responsible for much of the PR crap that shits up so many discussions. Why should gamers care if Toshiba's going to stop making Hd-dvd players or not? System wars were more fun back then when fanboys didn't resort to spouting off the same nonsense given to them by corporate representatives.

I'd be really interested to see some global retail data. On a purely microscopic level - one GameStop district, I'd wager that we've sold more PS3 units in January on the basis of Xbox 360 product unavailability alone.

I actually have to lol at Sony's slim margin of victory-- I did predict the 360 would still outsell them.

As for Burnout, I'm not surprised it didn't outsell the 360 version (I mean proportionality of userbases makes that difficult), but the Wii software is definitely the most interesting for me.
