Here’s some good news for Nintendo and Sony. After the video game console market shrunk by a fifth in October, NPD now has a new report that shows that December was the video game industry’s “biggest sales month ever.”
Console sales jumped 4% compared to last December, with the Nintendo Wii in the lead(It is the cheapest console out there, so not really a surprise) with 3.81 million units moved (up from 2.15 million were moved the previous year).
All of the DS gear moved 3.31 million and the PlayStation 3 had sales of 1.36 million compared to the Xbox 360’s 1.31 million.

wii is the chapest and probably the most inovative
Wait, let me read this correctly. Both of Nintendo’s consoles sell more than XBox360 and PS3 COMBINED and you attribute that to a $50 price point difference? What’s more, PS3 outsells 360 by a measly 0.05 million and you consider that a victory for Sony?
Talk about spin.
