- Wii: 274K

- Xbox 360: 230K
- PSP: 230K
There's still a long way to go in this console war, but January has been quite favorable for Sony. Will Sony be able to capitalize on this newfound momentum? With a killer line-up of games for the rest of year, we'd like to think so. Update: Comment from SCEA's Jack Tretton, after the cut.
[Via Joystiq]
"Coming off a great holiday sales season we see strong momentum behind PS3 in 2008, and feel confident about the year ahead. We have an exceptionally diverse lineup of exclusive games, from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance 2 to more mainstream games such as LittleBigPlanet and SingStar. Beyond that, we have Blu-ray emerging as the de facto high def standard, the developer community is hitting their stride, consumers are recognizing the tremendous value and innovative services such as PlayStation Home are all in the works, so this is definitely shaping up to be a breakthrough year for us." - Jack Tretton, CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America

Yeah, except they don't show the real numbers. Lying by omission is still lying.

Um...we already know Decembers numbers...this is a post about January numbers.
It would be 'lying' or an 'omission' if this post was about 2 months of sales.
Stop being an @ss, mkay?

yea they are certainly there screaming "but the 360 is having shortages right now!"
great for the PS3 and PSP though no matter what the circumstances. PS3 lost the least amount of momentum coming off the holidays which is great news.

I highly doubt anyone is willing to attribute this to the shortages of the Wii and 360 I mean this is a fanboy themed site.

MS 'conveniently' mentions shortages 1 day before NPD and you actually believe that?

They all went to fix the RRoD that over 1/3 of people have had.

I see 360s everywhere here, a lot in all 3 of the PnP shops, a lot at Target (2 of them), Bestbuy, Walmart, and 2 Gamestop.
Maybe not A LOT at Target, but at least 1 in all of those places here just like the PS3.
