Nintendo had the two best selling consoles in the US on NPD figures for February 2007. The DS Lite shifted 485,000 units, ahead of the Wii (335,000 units), which was in short supply. After that came the Sony PlayStation 2 (295,000), Microsoft Xbox 360 (228,000), PlayStation Portable (176,000), and Game Boy Advance (136,000). The PlayStation 3 brought up the rear, selling well below expectations with 127,000 units.
Michael Pachter, senior analyst at Wedbush Morgan, said: "The sales pattern over the last few months had suggested to us that consumers are less concerned about the transition than they have been in prior console cycles. Demand for the PS3 is tracking below our expectations, while demand for the Wii remains strong," reports gamesindustry.biz. Gamasutra has a longer report.
