The 360 dip is understandable, only one decent game release. I expect 200,000+ units next month.fatzombiepigeon

There will be a surge next month,

Thanks to the Elite.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"]link?lazzordude

people had been doing it all day. 

damn, GBA is still outselling the PS3! :lol:

Heavenly Sword and Lair can't get here soon enough :lol: :cry: :lol: 

ps3 limping like a dog ???

why do you compare handhelds to consoles ?

PS3 just kicked some ass. it kicked Wii and 360's ass.

DS is doing great too.

Good to see less people are wasting their money on that garbage 360 console.-Ramirez-

What about the 250k Wii sales? Seems pretty low.

Well it still has shortages.

This is what's known as a supply constraint.

OMFG @ DS. 

My goodness.  I thought the GBA was dead?  Why does it keep selling?  :x.  It doesn't make sense!

Half a million DSes??!  Maybe that explains the GBA.  No one can find the DS, so they get the GBA instead? 

the gap in monthly sales between Wii and 360 is closing in north america....El_Fanboy

I cant tell if thats a joke or not.....

What I expected. Can't wait for PS3 to become number one. It's going to happen.shungokustasu

I know casey warned us, but this is the definition of damage control. they should put this post as the defintion in the system wars informational thread.

Looks like the news about bad Wii shortage for the month was pretty accurate. Still, it did better than the competition even in short supply so Wii wins yet again.

and no surprise at DS domination.

GBA is inexpensive and had a massave library of inexpensive games.  that's a good combination.

Then why is it the leash for NA just got tighter? Either Nintendo isn't shipping as many, or the huge hype might be going down A LITTLE. I still think it's number one.

RELEASE TEH POKEMONZ!1Weslii

seriously! once pokemon hits the DS...holy crap it's going to be rediculous. 

I predict ten billion units sold by the months end :D 

What I expected. Can't wait for PS3 to become number one. It's going to happen.shungokustasu

no doubt about that. 

[QUOTE="El_Fanboy"]the gap in monthly sales between Wii and 360 is closing in north america....Jandurin

all im saying is that the gap went from 100k to 60k...interpret it as you wish. 

[QUOTE="shungokustasu"]What I expected. Can't wait for PS3 to become number one. It's going to happen.xxThyLordxx

no doubt about that. 

Where's your evidence?

What do you want me to say? PS3 sux, and it's a failure? 

What I expected. Can't wait for PS3 to become number one. It's going to happen.shungokustasu

Not at this rate.

The February reporting period was 4 weeks.  127,000 / 4 = ~31,750 per week.

March is 5 weeks. 130,000 / 5 = ~26,000 per week.

In short, PS3 sales are falling fast.

Higher than th 360's by 50 or so thousand
