The new Xbox 360 S continued to reinvigorate the platform for Microsoft while beating the Nintendo DS and everyone else while doing so. The PlayStation Portable slid below 100, 000 units once again. Poor Sony.

You know it’s a slow month for software when Modern Warfare 2 makes a reappearance in the top 10. Dragon Quest IX made it into the top 10, but with less than 141, 700 units sold. A damn shame since it’s quite the entertaining RPG.
