It's surprising enough that the PS3 hasn't been able to beat out the 360 again since it did - when was it, November? - previously, but to see the 360 even top the Wii? Impressive. DS still a beast, like always. As is NSMB.
Great to see that Heavy Rain sold 200K+ in 4 days. Good sign for the industry and it should encourage publishers to work on more 'adventurous' games like this. Considering the PS3's shortages everywhere it sold relatively well. I'm sure it would have beaten the 360 had supply been sufficient. Hope they get it sorted out this month for the GOW III and FFXIII crowds.
