Why does it matter yadda yadda yadda. Well it was an entertaining thread a few months back, and at the time a few moaners said 'post the figures in a few months when they are actually meaningful'.
Here goes...
USA - month ending May 31st 2007
DS - 423,000
Wii - 338,000
PSP - 221,000
PS2 - 188,000
360 - 155,000
PS3 - 82,000
The overall picture, 360 sales have dropped 47% in 5 months, PS3 is down 66% over the same period. The PS2 is finally starting to slow down, sales below 200,000 have only previously happened once between now and 7 years ago. DS sales are up by around 150% over the previous year.
4 or the top 5 selling games were DS and Wii, all of which sold at least quarter of a million copies each (the other was a PS2 game)
And as this is the Forza 2 forum, it sold 217,000 copies in May, more than Forza 1 in its first month.
Japan - week ending June 10th 2007
DS - 117,193
Wii - 64,529
PSP - 24,711
PS2 - 11,097
PS3 - 8,776
360 - 2,553
Europe doesn't give up such nice figures so easily, but as far as I can tell the situation is much the same with the DS and Wii despite continued limited availability, and the 360 has the edge on PS3 apparently.
