Compared to last month, hardware sales decided to take a dive. Only the PS3 went up. Despite this, the 360 continues its lead against the DS and the Wii. The PSP is in a horrible position right now selling under 100K.
But unfortunately, this isn't the only set of bad news that's going on. Software sales aren't looking hot ether
| Software | Publisher | System | Sales |
| Madden NFL 2011 | Electronic Arts | 360 | 920.8K |
| Madden NFL 2001 | Electronic Arts | PS3 | 893.6K |
| Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Nintendo | Wii | 124.6K |
| Mafia 2 | 360 | Take 2 | 121.6K |
| New Super Mario Bros DS | Nintendo | DS | 110.4K |
| New Super Mario Bros Wii | Nintendo | Wii | N/A |
| Mafia 2 | Take 2 | PS3 | |
| Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 | Activision | 360 | N/A |
| NCAA Football 2011 | Electronic Arts | 360 | N/A |
| WiiFit Plus | Nintendo | Wii | N/A |
While Madden NFL 2011 is a smashing success on the 360 and PS3, the PS2 version trailed and the Wii version is nowhere on the top 20(I am only recording the Top 10). Furthermore, the gap between Madden NFL on PS3 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 is wider. Another word of warning is that New Super Mario Bros Wii did less than 100K in software sales. Bad software, or the recession? Regardless, it sucks to be video game software.
No doubt Halo Reach will be in the top spot. But will gaming continue its decline? Stay tuned.
