Would You Predict that the PS2 Could be #1 Again?

I did. The PS2 was the #1 selling non-hand held console last month, beating out the Wii by over 10% and the 360 by just under 50%.

Some other interesting statistics:

Interestingly, the PS3 was the only new console to see an increase in sales for the month. Wii sales were down 22 percent and Xbox 360 down 12 percent. … PS3 saw a month-over-month increase of 2% with sales…

This is likely due to the launch last month in Europe, creating renewed demand for the PS3.

As a side note, the number one over all console is the DS hand held by Nintendo, selling nearly double that of the PS2. Here’s the actual numbers for those of you too lazy to read:

  1. Nintendo DS – 508K
  2. PlayStation 2 – 280K
  3. Wii – 259K
  4. Xbox 360 – 199K
  5. PlayStation Portable – 180K
  6. Game Boy Advance – 148K
  7. PlayStation 3 – 130K
  8. GameCube – 22K
