Everything but the 360 numbers seem sort of low but then again it is a summer month. Glad to see DQ9 in the top 10 and I hope it ends up having some legs as it's a fantastic game.

Are those NCAA numbers low? I'm not a sports gamer but they seem low for such a high profile release.

It's the first time since September '07 (Halo 3 launch) that the 360 was the top-selling hardware platform.

Crackdown 2 at only slightly more than 200k. I guess it's not too bad considering how cheap that game must have been to produce and how little marketing it got. Not the greatest game ever, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Only real bad thing about it was the god awful framerate during the biggest freak battles.

Can we get an honorary number one this month since SC2 sold 721K. :p Crushed the competition.

Isn't this about half of the original first month? While Crackdown 2 has issues, I hope it sold enough to push through a third game.

MS was practically giving away the old SKU's (eg. Target had the Arcade for $130 + $30 giftcard; Amazon had FFXIII bundle + Bioshock 2 + UFC 2010 for $300), so not exactly a surprise to see the number jump. Heck, at those prices, I bet lots of people who own the "old" model were just buying spares.

Also, poor PSP.

The original sold 427k during its first month and that's with the Halo 3 beta, MS hates gamers if they don't greenlight a sequel

Great 360 numbers. The $199 slim launched early August so the next NPD should also be good for Microsoft.

The worst thing that it was not framedrops, the game just slows down until it's utterly unplayable. Getting caught between 2 medium sized freaks meant certain death with no way to flee. Such bullshit.

Really stunned at the 360 numbers. A lot of people I know upgraded (myself included). Stunned that it doubled the PS3 numbers when Sony said last month that they had zero supply problems anymore.

I wonder how long the 360 sales can keep up.

I don't think it's outsold all systems including handhelds. Home consoles yes, handhelds too... not too sure.

Oooh, forgot this was today. Kind of a ho-hum list, especially the software numbers but whoa @ the low number of Wii's sold. Yeah it's a slow month but that's a big drop off. I'm sure things will pick up again this holiday season with the great games coming out over the rest of the year.

Grats to 360, the sole survivor of this month.

Oh yeah and DS, too, I take it's ass kicking for granted since it's so consistently solid.

The difference between Nintendo's tracking system and NPD is pretty big.

Or is it?

NPD - WII LTD as of July 31st: 29.9 million

Difference is 0.3% if we assume Nintendo's LTD as exactly 30 million.

It's more like a stunning 360 month than anything else. You cannot point at any console this month, it was a shitty performance all around.

Also, why are people screaming in joy at DQIX numbers, am I missing something here?
