This has been Sony's best NPD game charts wise. GOW III seriously over 1 Million in the U.S. alone, crazy.

didn't expect the 360 to outsell the PS3 this month considering there was no major heavy hitter for microsoft this month, as opposed to FF and GOW 3 for sony.

BC 2 is doing well, good news.

Yeah, but the PS3 had some great software sales. What is up with 350K sales for MLB The Show?

The PS3 will continue to be outsold until it lowers its price. Price is all that matters this gen, at least to US consumer.

It's doing better than 1 & 2 at launch. That's enough of the stupid "But teh install base" argument.

Good numbers for Nintendo. Also while I am surprised the PS3 is last, I am impressed that GOW3 is number 1 and MLB the Show made it in the top 10.

What's so fanboyish about his comment? It's true that a lot of ppl expected the PS3 to come out on top with the realease of GoW and FF.

PS3 was still hard to find for the first two weeks of March. Not sure if it made much of a difference, but kept thinking it was dumb of Sony to have so little stock with FFXIII and GOW 3 releasing.

Well, two things... 1. Sony had shortages for the first couple weeks in March and 2. when the 360 would get outsold by the PS3 but still have awesome software sells (such as the PS3 did) they would say that was the most important thing. Hypocrisy FTW.

Also, I've seen enough of his posts to know where he leans.

KristoffBrujah

Sony might be losing to the 360 in the US(360's home teritory)but the margins are quite small and I'm sure Sony is happy with that. You won't see a price cut unless MSoft does something drastic like bundle to elite 360 with Natal for $299.

I'm surprised that the 360 outsold the PS3. FFXIII wasn't exactly "2 to 1" as someone had previously said, but its unsurprising given the amount of negative attention the 360 version recieved by everyone leading up to launch. People still play Pokemon? Really...? I think we'll be seeing Battlefield Bad Company 2 for both platforms in the April NPD as well.

Wow, PS3's FF13 sold almost double the 360's amount. Guess that puts any doubters there to rest. Surprised that BC2's actually on there though. Nicely done.

Kingpin0114

I really think is was due to shortages at major retailers. It really didn't get restocked until the end of March. Kind of sad Sony missed that opportunity. It will be intesting to see if they can win April with no major games coming out for any systemsince they seemed to re-stocked at all the major retailers now.

Yes, in late March. The first two weeks there were still shortages (which was stupid as GOW III came out in early March).

I guess I'll be doing this all night... Pokémon won. NPD counts each version as a different game.
