Wii and PS3 outsold Xbox360 in March
Posted: May 24, 2008 by Wiispace
For the month of March, 2008, the Xbox360 was last in console sales behind Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PS3. According to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, the sales breakdown had Nintendo selling 700,000 Wii’s, Sony shipped 365,000 PS3’s and the Xbox360 selling 310,000 units.
Pachter also stated that Nintendo is selling more units to Europe than the US in order to avoid the weakening US Dollar:
“We believe that Nintendo has diverted a significant portion of its available supply to Europe since April, as the weakening dollar has made US sales less profitable for the company. However, we believe that European supply has caught up with demand, and think that the company likely shipped the US its ‘fair share’ in the month of March, particularly in light of Nintendo’s need to support the launch of Super Smash Brothers Brawl.”
