After the release of the PS3 Slim for $299 early September thoughts turned to the sales numbers of the console in the market. It appears the drop in price has boosted sales of the PS3 up above both the Wii and 360 for the first time ever.
PlayStation 3 491,800
Wii 462,800
Xbox 360 352,600
PlayStation 2 146,000
Nintendo DS 524,200
PSP 190,400
Top 10 Games
1. HALO 3: ODST 360 1.52M
2. WII SPORTS RESORT W/ WII MOTION PLUS WII Jul-09 442.9K
3. MADDEN NFL 10 360 Aug-09 289.6K
4. MARIO & LUIGI:BOWSER’S INSIDE STORY NDS Sep-09 258.1K

9. GUITAR HERO 5* 360 Sep-09 210.8K
10. THE BEATLES:ROCK BAND* WII Sep-09 208.6K
360 seems to be doing better software sales wise, with Halo 3 ODST holding the top spot for September. Although that could well change in October with the big release of Uncharted 2 on the PS3.
