According to the NPD Group, year-over-years sales for the US videogame market fell 6 percent to $1.18 billion USD for January 2008.
Software sales for the month increased 11 percent however, to $610.6 million USD, but NPD's Anita Frazier attributed that increase mainly to higher prices, such as the expensive "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" bundles that both sold very well.

i bought a ps3 last weekend on a saterday and i took it back on a sunday because it does not match to the xbox 360 at all.
ohh am sorry ps3 fanboys ho say the ps3 has 8 prossesors and he 360 only has 3 so EDITED BY MODERATOR wat.
ps3 does not compare to the xbox 360 at all.
the online on the xbox is extremly slow and it has to update all the time takin about 7 mins each update.
unlike the xbox which take no more that 30 seconds each update and their not very often requered
and what is the point in blu ray yeah it is good but ho needs it ime happy with hd which is better because extras and menus.
the only thing that the ps3 is better at is that i looks better but what sort of hardcore gamer needs their console to look good ?
and you name me one good game that is on the ps3 that is not on the xbox ohh and dont say resistance fall of man because that is just crap i mean really crap and it is the same story with all the other ps3 exclusivs and look at the xbox 360 exclusive gears of warhalo 3 i dont need to say anifin else.
ps3 fanbois shut ure face and get a xbox 360 which is know half the price of a ps3 and doubly better.
This is probably because of all the Blu-ray hoopla that was being pushed on people during the months of December and January. It was a cheaper alternative to buying a 500 dollar standalone.
I'm not a fanboy, so don't even try and play that card.
jkeryder First off watch you language, because if you can't I will gladly remove your account from aD. As for YOUR opinions, they are exactly that, your own. Not everyone feels the same way (Thank God) as you, personally I really don't like the 360 (though I own one as well as Wii, DC, PSP, PS3, PS2, PS1, Xbox and more) as all there is are FPS's. If I wanted that I will stick to my PC.
You want some great games? Sure he we go
1) Resistance Fall of Man - yep I put it as it IS a great game just because YOU don't like it does not mean it is a bad game.
2) Ratchet & Clank - high scoring title
3) Eye of Judgment - while not my kind of game it is amazing the interactivity and creativity this game is/has
4) FF13 & FF vs 13 - these games alone will be nothing short of amazing
5) GT5P & GT5 - this game is a BILLION dollar franchise for Sony whether you want to agree/believe or not understand
6) Haze 7) Killzone 2
8) Little Big Planet
9) MGS4 - since you didn't even mention this game I really should have just left this post alone
10) Motorstorm 1 & soon 2 - excellent, fun game
11) Uncharted Drakes Fortune - awesome graphics and game play to match
I could go on as there are SO many others but I know I am just wasting my time and breath with what I have already said. Especially when you think Halo 3 was "great". It might have sold well but that does not mean it is a good game in itself.

That statement is over a year old now and is dead. After that, the rest of your post lost credibility with me, and I'm totally open the opinions of 360 fans (although it usually doesn't change my gripes with the hardware issues and XBL). Any other thoughts I had have already been covered by Oner.
The stats always go up and down and sony may put a great fight in however with nintendo's wii still doing strong however i think the key is to try and keep competitor low if that means a tag team 2 against one mentality at first so be it then after the 3rd party disapears then you can focus on yourselves and your one and only opponent left in the market.
