February saw an outstanding number for the Xbox 360 in North America, surpassing even the Nintendo Wii and claiming the month as the best February in the 360's history. Although the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii do seem to be experiencing major shortages in the US, it's still quite impressive to see such a big gap between Microsoft's console and every other one.
In America, The Xbox 360 sold approx. 422,000 units for the month of February, followed by the Wii at over 395,000 and the PlayStation 3 with just over 360,000 units. While it does seem to be a great year for the 360, Nintendo's DS managed to sell the most with a whopping 613,000+.
Europe and other countries (not counting Japan) see a different story. The PlayStation 3 continued making its mark by outselling the Xbox 360 weekly for the month of February. Countries including Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Australia and more saw a rather large gap between the PS3 and 360. Total sales for these countries including the UK stood at close to 200,000 units for the 360 and over 300,000 for PS3. The Wii stayed ahead with a solid 425,000.
Japan continues to sing the same song. The PlayStation 3 and Wii gave a strong showing with 108.5K and 133K respectively. The Xbox 360, although unsurprising, gave it's all with over 11,500 units sold the entire month.
In total, despite the shortages, all three systems showed a good number (approximation):
•Nintendo Wii - 1,154,918
•PlayStation 3 - 742,358
•Xbox 360 - 614,696
Total sales numbers for 2010 continue to look strong for all three systems. The PlayStation 3, even with the fantastic numbers on Microsoft's console, still gets the lead of almost half a million units with 1,837,997 (PS3) and 1,431,991 (360). Sales numbers for all three systems should get progressively more impressive later this year when shortages go away and major console exclusives on the Xbox platform hit store shelves such as Splinter Cell: Conviction and Crackdown 2. In addition, PlayStation 3's March should look even better than last with major exclusives such as MLB 10: The Show and God of War III.
