What a difference $100 can make. Armed with a newly competitive price of $300, the Playstation 3 sold 491,800 units in North America last month, according to the NPD Group, making it the top-selling home console in September. However, Sony’s top standing may be short lived, as the Wii wasn’t far behind with 462,800 units sold, and that was mostly before Nintendo cut the console’s price by $50. While Microsoft’s Xbox 360 trailed behind both consoles with just 352,600 units sold, it’s not all bad news for Microsoft. Halo 3: ODST was by far the best-selling game of last month with 1.52 copies sold, and half the games in the top 10 were for the Xbox 360. See? Plenty of points for every PR team to spin.
