September Sales: PlayStation 3 Beats the Xbox 360, Wii for the First Time
"Compared to last September, the PS3 was the big winner, more than doubling last year's sales," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier. "This portrays a very strong consumer reaction to the price decrease as August and September both realized a lift of more than 70% over the prior month."
The PlayStation 3 Slim was announced in late August, dropping the price of the console to $300. Microsoft followed suit with its own Xbox 360 price cut to $300, while Nintendo lowered the price of the Wii to $200 in late September.
Check out the final numbers below:
- Nintendo DS - 524,200 units sold
- PlayStation 3 - 491,800
- Wii - 462,800
- Xbox 360 - 352,600
- PlayStation Portable - 190,400
- PlayStation 2 - 146,000

I guess that depends on whether you like having more good games to play.

Yeah, I think it's obviously going to depend on what games you like, along with whether you've already got a Blu-ray player.

Hardware wise, yeah. I would also agree about games, but I think that's a matter of opinion because different people like different types of games.
What you can't say anymore is that the ps3 doesn't have a good library. -
