February 2008 NPD: Wow @ PS2

February’s NPD data is in and it’s too amazing to ignore. For the second month in a row, the PS3 outsold the XBOX 360 in the United States. What’s shocking is the PS2 sales which was nothing short of staggering beating both the PS3 and XBOX 360. Nintendo’s one-two punch dominated the hardware charts.

1. Nintendo DS - 587,600
2. Nintendo Wii - 432,000
3. PlayStation 2 - 351,800
4. PLAYSTATION 3 - 280,800
5. Xbox 360 - 254,600
6. PlayStation Portable - 243,100

Was there a price drop in the United States for the PS2? No, more like a Target $99 special. The public likes their gaming hardware cheap!

Software sales are at the simExchange’s post if you’re interested.

I’m sad over Wipeout Pulse’s sales because it’s a great game that deserves your money.
