July NPD: Sharing the spotlight

The DS can't always be on top when it comes to sales numbers. Sometimes, we must step gracefully aside and allow someone else to share the spotlight. As long as that "someone else" is also manufactured by Nintendo, however ... then things are alllllright. Considering our trusty handheld had only one title in the top ten games sold in July -- Pokémon Diamond, which rang in at #7 -- moving another 400,000 units is pretty great. At least, it's better than those other guys, which is what really matters.

• Nintendo Wii: 425K

• Nintendo DS: 405K

• Sony PS2: 222K

• Sony PSP: 214K

• Microsoft Xbox 360: 170K

• Sony PS3: 159K

• Nintendo GBA: 87K

We can't wait to see what happens this holiday season. We have a feeling things are going to get crazy.
