3. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) - 1,000,000
4. Wii Play (Wii) - 360,000
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) - 326,000

10. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360) - 141,000


Nintendo is completely DEMOLISHING the competition as far as console sales. Here I thought that once Blu-Ray won the Hi-Def war, the PS3 would start selling better. However, it doesn't look like that's panning out--the Wii out-sold the PS3 nearly 4-to-1 in April.

If I want blu-ray, I'll buy a dedicated blu ray player. Not Sony's HypeStation. Granted, I love my PSP, but only because I could hack it. Otherwise, I would have never bought it.

Well, the PS3 isn't going to get any up in sales until they get a few good games rolling in. For in the end it's the games that will sell a console.

I think (as most experts do) that the market will eventually be shared more or less equally among Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony, with only a few percent difference.

Well, mainly, the fact that the PS3 costs a ridiculous amount of money this long after release is probably hurting its sales, and the lack of really spectacular games isn't helping.
