Xbox 360: Best Selling Gaming Console For February 2010

For the first time in over two years, Xbox is at the number one spot for the most consoles sold! Xbox 360 sold over 422,000 units according to analyst group NPD for the month of February. Wii managed to get to the number two spot and sold over 397,900 units. PlayStation 3 sold 360,100 units and suprised many. Most people thought that PlayStation 3 was going to lead console sales in the U.S. market but Xbox 360 managed to lead sales in the short 28 days of February.

Last month January 2010 Nintendo Wii was the best selling console with total units sold 465,000. Although the overall numbers were down this month, Xbox really surprised us all with taking over to the number one spot.

BioShock 2 was recently released for the Xbox 360 and sold over 562,900 units. The game was released on February 10th. Xbox is back in business and this was the break they needed in the gaming industry in 2010. While BioShock 2 helped boost overall sales, I don’t think that was the main reason for the spike in sales for the console.

While this numbers only represent the US Market, in other parts of the world Xbox 360 was not in the number one spot.
