NPD: Price cuts spur Sept. Xbox 360 sales


The September NPD hardware and software sales numbers just came in and just as our analyst friend predicted, the Xbox 360 saw a dramatic sales increase thanks to Microsoft's aggressive price cutting efforts.


During the month of September, the Xbox 360 sold a pretty impressive 347.2K units while the Playstation 3 sold a (more than expected) 232.4K units and the Wii is well ... in a league of its own. It sold 687K consoles in September. As far as software goes, we're impressed at Star Wars: The Force Unleashed's numbers, selling 610K on the 360 alone and over 1 million across all platforms. The 360 also claimed four of the top software sales slots including Rock Band 2 and Mercenaries 2. Check the break for a complete listing of September NPD sales.
