With data using NPD Group released sales information TGDaily has published the following graphs illustrating video game consoles sales data from November 2006 to the latest August 2008.
The current sales leader Nintendo Wii outships the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined, but note that this was the fifth decline in a row and shipments are off from 721,000 in March 2008. Xbox 360 shipments were down less than 5% from 204,800 in July 2008 to 195,200 in August 2008. For the PlayStation 3 shipments went down from the 224,900 in July 2008 to 185,400 in August 2008.
Cumulative Wii shipments in the U.S., according to NPD, now stand at 12.01 million. The Xbox 360 follows with 10.87 million and there is little reason to believe that the PS3 can close that gap anytime soon. Cumulative PS3 shipments in the U.S. are at 5.26 million.
It should be interesting to see how the upcoming holiday 2008 season unfolds.
