thats because theres a shortage of wiis

I called about every week to Best Buy, Toys R US, Gamestops, Target, etc. Noone carried Wii's last month, didn't even get shipments in. I think Gamestop maybe got a shipment, everyone else is like.. we havne't had any in since Christmas.

Good to see the PS3 inching up (horrible news title). My guess is the whole Blu ray thing was the driver behind those sales. Possibly COD4 (despite it saying Xbox 360, the PS3 version ranked #8).

February it'll all go back to the way it was.

Great news headline
/sarcasm

lol worst headline ever

Wii - 274K (from 1.35 million)
PlayStation 3 - 269K (from 798K)

I must be missing something, not seeing how the PS3 outsold the Wii there.

cod4 is so fucking good it made the list twice

thats because theres a shortage of wiisactually there was a shortage of everything ;]

Notice that the PS3 doesn't have a game in the top 10 software sells. That says far more about the PS3...like that people are not buying it to play games, but rather as a cheap Blue Ray Player.

Sony fan boy much?

Jesus christ.. if you're going to submit news, at least get through grade school first.

It was done on purpose and I'd say it worked brilliantly.

"Outsells Everything, Nearly" now there's some objective journalism

January? Sales drop off sharply in January; the only people left buying consoles are usually those who held off for a sale (who are the only people that would buy a PS3).

thats because theres a shortage of wiis
i hope that was sarcasm
