Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS and MadWorld for the Nintendo Wii were two of the most hyped “hardcore” games titles for their platforms in recent months, but neither have set the sales charts alight since their release, selling dismally since launch in the US.

The Nintendo Wii outsold its nearest competitor, the Microsoft Xbox 360, by nearly 2:1 in March in the US, NPD figures show. The Nintendo Wii sold over 600,000 units to US gamers. Microsoft sold 330,000 Xbox 360s. And Sony sold a mere 218,000 PS3s. Nintendo’s also trouncing Sony when it comes to handheld console sales too.
NPD data has shown that Sony sold 190,000 PS3s in the US in October, with Microsoft Xbox 360s selling nearly double that at 371,000. Nintendo, of course, still holds top spot, with the Wii selling more than four times the number of PS3s – 803,000. Perhaps it’s time for Sony to rethink that no price cut policy?
