Console Sales: May

[drothgery]

Say what? Two games more than a couple years old and an almost year old sports...check that...hockey game? That's just odd...

Looks like a slow month.

I am surprised that they are still selling Game Boy Advance in high volume. Isn't is hard to even find new games for this handheld?

Blame WotC and Atari for choosing the wrong handheld platform for their D&D Tactics game.

Interesting, but what's up with the incomplete data (ie. where are the worldwide numbers)?

Looks like in America its still PS 2 lol.

I don't think it's all that surprising. We're getting a lot of evidence that suggests that the sweet spot price for a console is under $300. A lot of folks just don't care about the frills that the PS3 and 360 offer--especially not if their existence means seeing prices drop on their predecessors.

I hope Blockbuster dropping support for HD DVD doesn't impact the Xbox too badly.

Don't know what Gamefly figures really represent, but currently the top 10 most popular games consist of eight 360 games and two Wii games.

I had one of the original PS2 models, and its recently been crapping out. So I got a new one! With the number of games I still have, and my 10 year old into using it, I felt it was a good deal. And the damn thing is so much smaller than the original!!

Besides, my son and I have a blast playing Lego Star Wars I and II.
