360 outsells PS3 in month as Wii sells more than both combined, according to NPD data
The NPD Group has released official American sales figures for September, reporting that Nintendo outsold all in the month.
Elsewhere, Microsoft's Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 – but even combined, the two consoles’ sales couldn’t match Wii.
The total US market, including software and hardware, was down seven per cent to $1.27 billion, compared to $1.35 billion for the previous month.
"Compared to August, nearly all hardware systems realised an increase in unit sales in September," commented Anita Frazier of NPD.
"The price reduction on the Xbox 360 helped deliver a month-over-month unit sales increase for that platform of 78 per cent."

Hang on a sec
The article suggests even combined (360 and PS3 sales) the Wii outsold them both but if you combine the 360 and PS3 sales its well over 800k...Wii did over 600k so where is the logic??
Re: Hang on a sec
Xbox 347,000 + PS3 232,000 < Wii 687,000
There's the logic!
