PS3 Catching Up with Xbox 360 in Sales

Along with the September sales figures for video games, seeing Madden NFL 12 beat out Gears of War 3, NDP also has numbers for consoles:

PlayStation 3 – 364,000-374,000 (estimate based on Sony claiming a 20% rise in sales)

Xbox 360 – 438,000

Wii – 240,000

3DS – 360,000

DS – 145,000

Alone, those figures are expected. But what's surprising is the change in growth. According to NeoGAF, the PS3 is catching up with the Xbox 360, despite the 360's 40% dominance of the market share, and the 3DS is finally giving Nintendo the momentum they need with the drop in Wii and DS console sales:

PlayStation 3: +16.7-19.8%

Xbox 360: -9.5%

Wii: -5.5%

3DS: +10%

DS: -64%
