Last month’s champion was dethroned for the second straight month, as the Wii has reclaimed its normal perch atop the console sales battlefield. That’s not to say the PlayStation 3 performed poorly, in fact, it came in a respectable second place this month, topping the Xbox 360 by quite a bit.
The DS continues to melt the competition with great radiance and intense fervor, despite the launch of the PSP Go. Sony needs to figure something out, or the PSP platform will continue to flounder.

The PS3’s strong sales were highlighted by Sony taking the top spot on the software charts with Uncharted 2. Wii Fit Plus seems to be doing unsurprisingly well, and NBA 2K10 seems to be popular with the masses. Wii Sports Resort is still hovering about… will it be another title we see on the charts for over a year?
