The NPD Group has unveiled the latest U.S. hardware figures for March 2009, revealing all three major home consoles sold below analyst expectations.
PlayStation 3 sold a total of 218,000 units last month, with both PS2 and PSP drumming up over 100,000 sales each.
Sadly, Sony’s black box found itself outperformed by Xbox 360 for another month, with Microsoft’s console selling 330,000, while the Wii remained top of the pack with a massive 601,000 units sold.
Looks like Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter’s earlier predictions were a tad too optimistic, then.
See below for a full round up of March hardware sales:
·PS2 – 112K
·PS3 – 218K
·PSP – 168K
·Xbox 360 -330K
·Wii – 601K
·DS -563K
