Wii sales still on top - Xbox 360 is struggling

The big companies have now released their salesfigures for the april to june period this year.

Nintendo reports that they have shipped 5.2 million Wii consoles, as well as 6.9 million Nintendo DS units.

On second place we find Sony, and they report that they have shipped 1.6 million Playstation 3's and 3.7 million PSP's shipped in this period (april-june). Playstation 2 is still selling really well; an impressive 1.5 million units were shipped.

And last, but not least, Microsoft anounced that they have shipped 1.3 million Xbox 360 units from april to june - which is even lower than the Playstation 2.

Is this why Microsoft has cut their price so much? Pricecut is great for us consumers... but why are 360 sales dropping so much?
A great fall line-up and Avatars might be able to turn this around - we'll have to wait and see.
