The Console Wars

Welcome to the Console Wars! The internet is totally abuzz as we prepare for the biggest gaming expo of the year! For the hardcore gamer, this is a huge deal and its finally here! Heading into E3 the tables have turned and we're totally surprised! Sony and the PlayStation 3 have held the thrown for quite some time holding a tight lead have surrendered only once to Microsoft in the past few months while the Nintendo Wii trailed. We don't know what happened this week and the Wii, believe it or not, blew past the other two consoles. This sort of surprises us as in two days, Nintendo announces there new console and a possible price drop. Why buy one before you know for sure? As for the handheld market its no surprise the DS is ridin the tidal wave but the fact that the 3DS is being outsold by the PSP sends up a flag. Hopefully Nintendo will learn from the 3DS when its comes launch time. Well, we don't until then. Still here are the numbers:

Wii                         211,527
PlayStation 3          134,525
Xbox 360               121,097

DS                          101,582
PSP                        86,853
