Which million unit figure did you want? New Super Mario Bros. Wii outselling Modern Warfare 2 for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360? The fact that Nintendo sold over 7 million units of hardware during the month? Or how about the PlayStation 3 outselling the Xbox 360 for the month?

It doesn’t really matter since everyone did well in my eyes. Much better than I gave the hardware manufacturers credit for:

[360] 1100K
[NDS] 2500K
[PS2] 100K
[PS3] 1300K
[PSP] 200K
[WII] 2800K

Yikes! Good thing I’m not paid to do this.
