NPD sales figures for September – good times for Sony!
So as expected Sony’s PS3 price cut drove sales through the roof for September with the black beauty outselling Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii! Of coarse Microsoft were quick to respond with ODST sales figures but what they didn’t mention was the bad taste left in players mouths from the 5 hour gaming experience and lack of matchmaking.
If Sony keep this pace, backed up by the release of Uncharted 2 it could well be a very good holiday season for the PS3.

That software lineup just doesn't appeal to me. Batman AA is the only one I'd want and I have that.
I'm the same really, ODST is very disapointing I haven't even put it in the xbox in weeks.
