NPD: PS3, Halo: ODST Dominate

Posted by Ashish on 10.19.2009

Sony climbs out of the cellar for September!

As expected, the PS3 reigned supreme in September, moving 491,800 units, topping both the Wii (462,800 units) and Xbox 360 (352,600 units). Of course, the DS/DSi remained the overall king, moving 524,200 units.

On the software side, Halo: ODST absolutely crushed the competition with 1.52 million units sold, over three times more than the second highest selling game, Wii Sports Resort, which sold 442,900 units.

And in the battle of the music games, The Beatles: Rock Band outsold Guitar Hero 5. Combined sales for The Beatles: Rock Band came in at around 600,000, while Guitar Hero 5 came in right under 500,000.
