Microsoft Gain In Console Sales
In the latest gaming sales reports, Nintendo stays in pole position by selling 453,000 Wiis in the last month, still a decline from the previous month's showing of 608,400.
What's somewhat surprising is that the Xbox 360 moves into second position by leapfrogging the Playstation 3 that it had been lagging behind for the past 3 months. The lead is narrow at 195,000 to 188,000 but is probably triggered by Microsoft announcing a price cut.
In terms of games, Electronics Arts' Madden 09 easily took the first 3 positions (across platforms). Looks like the Brett Favre cover paid off. Nintendo Wii Fit and Mario Kart performed commendably whereas Microsoft's Too Human disappointed with only 168,200 units though the game took years of development.

Fils-Aime: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Will Outsell MW2 — with One ...
By: therapie
That stipulation is, it'll beat either the 360 or the PS3 versions of the game, but not both, the Nintendo boss Reggie FIls-Aime told Gametrailers TV. Still, that's a hell of a Pepsi challenge. Granted, New Super Mario Bros. Wii only releases on a single platform. Modern Warfare 2 is still expected to be an enormo
