July NPDs Show PS3 Didn't Pull Ahead of 360

Despite last month's price drop, Sony's PlayStation 3 console just couldn't pull ahead of the Microsoft Xbox 360. Both, according to the latest NPD results, are still dwarfed by the continued domination of Nintendo's Wii console. 1up has the numbers for July: 'PlayStation 2 - 222k, PlayStation 3 - 159k, PSP - 214k, Xbox 360 - 170k, Wii - 425k, Nintendo DS - 405k, Game Boy Advance -- 87k.' For further commentary we can turn to Gamasutra, which offers a further breakdown on the numbers and some big picture perspective for this year:
"Total industry revenue for 2007 presently stands at $7.0 billion. If there is no year-on-year growth for any month until the end of 2007, then the industry will finish the year with $14.5 billion in revenue, an increase in 16% over 2006. That's a reasonably pessimistic scenario ... If we start with our current $7.0 billion as of the end of July and continue at a rate of 40% growth through the end of the year, then we arrive at a total of $17.5 billion for all of 2007 ... If Wii supply constraints are eased, Halo 3 sells as well as expected, Sony's first-party software attracts more PS3 buyers, and Rock Band and Guitar Hero III are both hits, it seems likely that revenues may go above $18 billion. In this optimistic scenario, industry revenues during the single month of December 2007 would equal or surpass the total annual revenue from all of 1997."

So...for what country is this?

Obviously it has to be in the usa cause the 360 doesnt sell well in japan compared to the ps3.

Ps3 cant possibly beat the 360 at this time, more and better games is at the 360 and most ports play better on the 360 (proven) and online play is soo much better and much cheaper to actually get the console.

No worthy games yet for the ps3 yet compared to the 360 and lets not forget about halo 3 is right around the corner and ps3 doesnt have a great chance to pull ahead of the 360 this holiday season.

2008 is a different story anything can still go!!!
