Nintendo, MS & Sony Respond To May NPD Numbers >
2008/06/13 14:04:37: Posted by DM
It seems that all three of the console makers claimed victory for the month of May in terms of sales. According to NPD though, Nintendo was the biggest winner with the Wii and DS in first and second in the hardware charts. Nintendo also dominated the software chart with 7 out of 10 spots held by DS or Wii games. Microsoft responded with how GTA IV on Xbox360 outsold PS3 by about 2:1, and how the console continues to be a revenue generating machine for third party software companies. Sony, then, was quick to point out that "more than 32 percent of U.S. PS3 owners have purchased a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, a 6 percent higher attach rate than Xbox 360." The company also noted that PS3 hardware sales grew 155 percent in May. The NPD numbers can always be interpreted in a number of ways folks, remember that.

Nintendo has both Sony and MS beaten into the ground, there is only one first place and that belongs to Nintendo.

Sad to say it but the Limey is correct. Microsoft and Sony are just fighting over the left overs from Nintendo's plate. I'm sure the SDF will be glad to hear that the PS3 outsold the 360 according to NPD in the month of May. But who are we kidding. When an overpriced, overclocked, last generation performance console is whooping your a$$ you shouldn't talk.

Sucks to be a PS3tard or an Xbot...

blacktiger: I agree with facts. NPD is the factual report for videogame console hardware and software sales in the US.

What I and most of the intelligent people on this website disagree with is your whack a$$ comments.

MY ASS! your the first person who disagree with facts, at least i dont care if MS beats Sony, now that Sony beats MS, do u see any sony fan boys bitching how shit MS is??? NO !!! CAUSE THATS NOT WHAT'S IT ABOUT !

Now that you have patient and trying to agreeing with facts, because you go no other reason why SONY has beaten MS, infact your talking about Nintendo for the first time ever because you dont feel like talking about real facts why SONY beating MS,

GET REAL MAN !!!

to me BIG N all the way except for Wii, that I'll be real !!!

Unlike you, your trying to manipulate and saying

"good for wii"

So everyone could focus on Wii and not PS3 beating Xbox,

Sorry my friend !

Your friend who runs GamersReports even mention that PS3 has beaten xbox, infact it will happen again on JUNE month for MGS4 !!!!!!!

mgs4 is the best game I ever play in my life, But I shouldn't say that cause I only care FPS, but MGS4 takes it such great step of inovative gameplay !!!

It even has amazing FPS part in it !!! and part of the game is AMAZING TOO !! too !!!!

And I know your going to bring: why are we talking about mgs4 ?

Because it has to do beating MS again for JUNE !!!

PIMP just take my word,

If you love video games just play that game, and if u dont hve ps3 then thats kool cause I dont have Xbx360,

I just god damn wish I have Xbox 360 cause for some reason gears of war doesn't interest me...

BUT HOLY MOTHER OF LORD, PART TWO GOTA BE HELL OF SWEET !!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares about Nintendo, this war is between MS and Sony. The Nintendo Wii SUCKS! Only reason it's doing well is cause kids like it. I think everyone should be thankful that Sony and Microsoft are competing in this market because it would be the most boring competition if it was just Nintendo vs Sony, or Nintendo vs Microsoft.

HEY whYte420, did u hear the latest news?, that more than 30 percent ppl got borred of Wii,

Don't worry! as much as I love Nintendo, They need to pay their price for not making good games for hardcore GAMERS :p

blacktiger: WTF did you just say??? Is this some new form of English again??? Can anybody besides Kojima's Professional Pole Polisher BlackTiger tell me what makes MGS4 so innovative??? From what I have read it's just an evolution of past MGS games with better graphics, better sound, better cut scenes, better story. Basically it's an HD version of MGS. Not knocking the game, just asking how this game innovates where other games haven't...

The fact that third person to first person, It's the best part.

When you use, it as first person, it's actually becomes a real first person shooting game, thats what's so interesting... cause most third person shooting game is actually fun but when u try to use it for first person it won't work...

It's always either first or third,

And with MGS4, like gametrailers said, they have an amazing mechanics from first person to third person...

GO READ IGN, but pls don't read it as Xbox Fanboy, read it like you really love video games
