PS3 growing pains continue pre-price cut. By Patrick Klepek, 07/23/2007
ORIGINAL STORY: It's that time again, folks, as the NPD Group has released the official numbers for June 2007. And, for once, there's good news all around, despite the slow summer schedule -- yes, even for PlayStation 3. Nevertheless, the story remains the same: Wii continues leading the pack, Xbox 360 still doubles Sony's sales and PS3's lack of software continues to play a large problem.
Oh, and Nintendo DS sold a truckload. Surprise? Here's the breakdown, versus the last few months, with the underlined numbers being the most recent, June 2007:
March 2007 vs. April 2007 vs. May 2007 vs. June 2007PlayStation 3: 130,000 vs. 82,000 vs. 81,600 vs. 98,500 Xbox 360: 199,000 vs. 174,000 vs. 155,000 vs. 198,400 Wii: 259,000 vs. 360,000 vs. 338,000 vs. 381,800 Nintendo DS: 508,000 vs. 471,000 vs. 423,000 vs. 561,000 PSP: 180,000 vs.183,000 vs. 221,000 vs. 230,000
Software sales remained as expected, Nintendo obviously dominating many of the top spots thanks to continually strong hardware sales for both Wii and Nintendo DS. 2K Games' The Darkness barely managed to crack the top 10, coming in at the bottom spot, beat out by Capcom's Wii-modified version of Resident Evil 4. Elsewhere, Forza Motorsport 2 continues to sell well, as does the Guitar Hero series.
