Feburary NPD numbers re-look. Total dollars spend = PS3 on top

We all love to count the number of consoles sold and claim our side won, and how your side is headed for an inevitable doooooom , however depending on how you look at things you tell a different story every time. If you want the Wii to be declared winner then you show # of units sold, and if you want the 360 on top you check out the top 10 software sales, however if you want to show the PS3 on top then look at total amount of dollars spent on a console.

If we are to break out where gamers went and spent their money on consoles you will see the greatest amount of Gill was dropped on PS3's in February

Dollars spent on consoles shows a different top 5 then just # of units sold:

1) PS3 – 280,800 Units x $450 (Avg 2 SKUs) = $126,360,000 Spent
2) Wii – 432,000 Units x $250 = $108,000,000 Spent
3) Xbox 360 – 254,600 x $359 (avg of 3 SKUs) = $91,401,400 Spent
4) DS – 587,600 Units x $130 = $76,388,000 Spent
5) PS2 – 351,800 Units x $129 = $45,382,200 Spent
6) PSP – 243,100 Units x $185 ( avg 2 SKUs ) = $44,973,500
