Surprising month. Not too surprising, though. Wii is still dominating with Wii-Fit and other WIi related software doing outrageous numbers. PS3 edged out the Xbox 360, but in the grand scheme of things: they’re both losers to Nintendo.

GTAIV still going very strong for the Xbox 360 (PS3 version is doing respectable), but since there’s a obvious lack of hardware sales, it must be penetrating deeper into the pre-existing install base.
