    "On the hardware front, the Xbox 360 managed to beat out the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii in the console race"

    WOW! that should be the headline right there,that's huge, the DS is not a system, stop trying to downplay the accomplishment the 360 has made, it makes you read like a biased fanboy hack.

  • Axe99 2 years ago

    This is a very interesting set of numbers. It's a great set of results for the 360's hardware, but strangely one of the strongest PS3 software results (keeping in mind there are twice as many 360s as PS3s in the US, the MW2 and Dante's Inferno numbers are almost unbelievable). The Wii's the only system that clearly had a bad month, but it's all relative - 300,000 units of any console sold in February is alright!

  • lmfao 2 years ago

    Bungie, go play in traffic. AND THE NINTENDO DS STILL BEAT THE 360. You cocksucking fangirl.

  • lmfao 2 years ago

    And who the hell is jealous of the 360? It FINALLY tops the Wii for a month and you fangirls are cumming all over yourselves.

    It won't last fangirls. Savor it while it lasts. :D

    You people keep saying the PS3 will beat the 360 next month.....It happened twice in four years! The PS3 will never outsell the 360 in total here in the U.S.!

  • Rip 2 years ago

    The world knows what console is superior and it's not the
    xbibratorbox 360. Lol 360 f@gs aka non gamers

  • Mr right, 2 years ago

    Good job 360. The xbox 360 is the best gaming platform in the world. It has the best software, an unbeatable online experience.

    Microsoft i expect my check in the mail.

    p.s. Sony and Nintendo if you guys pay me i will advertise your products. I don't work for free, like most of this damn fanboys. lol

  • Aahmagaad 2 years ago

    Just read the hardware sales from outside the US. all in all the 360 is in last place out of the big 3 in worldwide sales! Suck it fanboys =)

  • ufo8mycat 2 years ago

    You guys fail to realise that NPD is just The US sales.

    Worldwide sales PS3 outsold the 360 yet again and is a head of the 360 in total sales by a little over 500,000 units.

    So much for 360 domination....

  • 360 fangirls are nerds 2 years ago

    Nintendo and Sony had shortages and you idiots are declaring victory. And Blistrydeath, the PS3 will never beat the 360 in the U.S? Um...it did many times.

    Keep clinging to that "piece" of good news 360 fangirls. The 360 will be in third soon enough.

  • cell989 2 years ago

    its sad cause every month, no matter what the 360 does, its always getting out sold overall. THe PS3 and the Wii is the right combo for anyone.

  • 3dg fan 2 years ago

    Are you kidding me thats just this month the top selling systems in the whole world are the nintendo DS ,wii, and psp

    But the xbox 360 is a better system then the ps3
