American stat-trackers NPD have released their fabulous February findings – and for only the 2nd time since the Wii’s launch in 2006, the Xbox 360 was the top-selling home console in the region.
While the folks in Redmond are obviously doing a happy dance, there’s probably a good reason for their victory. US supplies of both the PS3 and the Wii are constrained. Still it IS a victory – Both the 360 (up 90 000 units from Jan) and the PS3 ( up 83 200 units) actually saw an increase in sales over January, with the Wii being the only one that saw a significant sales drop. Compared to last year’s February figures, the Wii is in sharp decline – 397,900 units, down from 793,000 in 2009.
I’d still like to have seen the figures if the Wii and PS3 were in regular supply though. Figures after the jump.
