The Official April NPD Thread - Come laugh at the PS3

PS3 sold a woeful 82,000 units for the month, while the Nintendo DS once again stole the show with 471K. PS3 sales were so low that Nintendo's ancient GBA sold more with 84K.

The best selling console was Nintendo's Wii with 360K sold, while the Xbox 360 sold an unimpressive 174K. Sony's PS2 beat out the 360 (again) with 194K. The PSP sold 183K units and the GameCube (essentially on life support) sold just 13K.

PS2 194,000

PSP 183,000

Xbox360 174,000

YES.

So, is this the end of Sony?

I really think it is.

:lol: what a joke

but but bu.... it plays blu ray movies :cry:

but but bu... it cures cancer :cry: 

PS3 is in the toilet, 360 is winning the next gen console war for another month.

Xbox 360 is not doing so good either.kentaro22

I don't think 174,000 is bad for this time of year. Is it?

So, is this the end of Sony?

I really think it is.

I shall post this again!

the only reason this stinks is because people will use this to negate the fact that SGD 2007 was unbelievableR-Dot-Yung

Why do you think Sony delibertly had SGD end today? It was done to try and make people forget about the numbers that are so Hilariously bad

[QUOTE="kentaro22"]Xbox 360 is not doing so good either.Eltroz

prawned. 

175K is pretty good.

PS2 performed about that well a few aprils.

AND 360 is more expensive than ps2 was.

Wit till Halo 3 and a price drop comes. 

Wow...PS3 is doing almost exactly HALF of  how the 360 is doing, and the 360 is doing almost exactly HALF of what the Wii is doing.

Analysts think it'll be a close race...I think they're nuts.

News like this will really hurt PS3 as far as developers go. Oh well just means more games for 360 and Wii since developers would like to make money.

:lol:

I love the topic title.

360's worst month was February of 06, when they sold 161k.  This month's 174k for the 360 isn't great, but I think people were holding off for the Elite which was released at the very end of the month.  Next month 360 numbers should be better.

I believe that little sales drop was due to the Gears of War hype dying out.
