The Stupid Gamer

NPD is like a monthly holiday for gaming geeks that can’t get enough of the console wars that have raged on for decades. This month Nintendo, once again, had a massive month, Guitar Hero III makes its debut, the 360 keeps rolling along, and the PS3 kind of limps along. As expected, Halo 3 still leads sales on the software front. Remember, next month will be interesting as it will include Black Friday, the PS3 price drop, the Xbox 360 Arcade bundle, and the Super Mario Galaxy effect. So, here are the numbers:

Hardware Results (rounded to the nearest 1,000):

• Wii - 519,000
• Nintendo DS - 458,000
• Xbox 360 - 366,000
