US Gaming Console Sales Results

Video game consoles sold well during the holiday season, but the biggest splash wasn’t made by any of the hot new boxes on the market. Sony’s Playstation 2 — an old timer compared to the Xbox 360, Wii and Playstation 3 — outsold all of the competition. Supply glitches affecting the newest consoles and the PS2’s lower price point were likely contributing factors.

Americans bought 1.4 million PlayStation 2s during the period. That was more than the Xbox 360, which sold 1.1 million units; the Nintendo Wii, which sold 604,000; and the PlayStation 3, which sold 491,000.
