Despite a worsening economy, all three current-generation video game consoles had better U.S. sales in October than they did a year ago, according to the latest figures from The NPD Group.And both Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii sold more units in October, a four-week reporting period, than in September, a five-week period. Wowwee!
Also the worst of the economic bad news had yet to hit in September.
Sony, however, saw month-over-month PlayStation 3 sales decline, while sales of its previous generation (and less expensive) PlayStation 2 remained strong. Also, the PS3 saw the strongest year-over-year sales increase in October.
Nintendo was again the market leader, even though Microsoft cut prices on its Xbox 360 line in September, making its low-end model the least-expensive console on the market.

I always say "when life's got you down, get a new cell phone." Right now I have my sights set on the Motorola Krave. I have been a huge fan of this phone ever since I started working with Motorola. I'm especially fond of the 2 MP camera, blue tooth and full touch screen display. Has anyone else seen the specs sheet online? (motorola.com/krave) It's definitely my bet right now.
Good video game.
Xbox360 is good selling on UK USA and other euro area,but in the japan is not better. I want microsoft can make more pressure to sony and Nintendo in japan area
