Yes, they are finally here. January’s complete NPD
hardware sales numbers. Yesterday we were able to scout and
report the sales of the Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3. To recap, the
Nintendo Wii took home 436k, the X360 with 294k, and the PS3 with
244k. Now today NPD Fungroup has finally released numbers for all
consoles. With these numbers, we now know that the second best
selling console in January was the PlayStation 2, racking in 299k
units. The Nintendo DS moved 239k units, and the PSP sold a
respectable 211k.
Sales of obsolete hardware such as the GBA, Xbox and GameCube
were made available, as well. The GameBoy Advance continues to
sell well in North America, as NPD reports 179k units sold.
Nintendo's GameCube is depleting its last remaining stock with
34k sold. And NPD reports 800 sold for the discontinued Xbox.
Incidentally, while the PlayStation 3 is selling marginally less
than the X360, at the moment – it is actually Sony who is
receiving the largest gross revenue, overall. Reports surfaced
that the average price per PS3 sold is close to $580. That's a
little over $141M in revenue for Sony. The average price per X360
sold is $390, which brings Microsoft's January revenue to nearly
$115M. And because the Wii only has one price point of $250,
Nintendo's revenue is $109M.
