US Xbox 360 sales top PS3, Wii for 20th straight month
Microsoft's console shifted 193,000 units last month in the States, representing a 48 per cent share of current gen console sales, according NPD data passed along by Microsoft.
While it didn't release any actual sales figures, Nintendo said August 3DS hardware sales grew more than 36 per cent over July's total, while 3DS software sales increased by more than 68 per cent during the same period.
NPD analysts Anita Frazier also said of August's sales: "Of the platforms that were on the market last August, none realized a year-over-year sales increase. However, compared to July 2012, the 3DS and the PS3 both experienced unit sales increases in August.
"The 3DS XL launched on 8/19 and represented 44 per cent of total 3DS unit sales, which is noteworthy given the fact that only seven days of 3DS sales are captured in this report.
"The current hardware systems are showing their age, so it goes without saying that it would be great to have new systems breathe life into traditional retail industry sales," she added. "I am anxious to learn more about the Wii U launch later this month. And with any luck we will hear news about other systems on the horizon."

TTG_Semper-Fi Nobody likes the gay 3ds graphics they still will never be better than 1080p console graphics.
You're comparing a handheld to a **** console, ofcourse the graphics wouldn't be up to spec.

so the Halo series, the Gears of War series, minecraft, Kinect, and the Forza series are obviously movies and tv shows... If anything the ps3 is just a cheep blue ray player. All of the games suck, the psmove is a joke, and the controllers are specifically designed for those under the age of 13.
