    The Console Wars: 2007 Update

    We don't keep you updated with every Wii sold like our friends at Kotaku, but the NPD's 2007 sales numbers have been released, so we thought that the occasion merited a rundown to fuel your fanboy flame wars. Here are the total consoles sold in the United States during 2007:

    Nintendo DS - 8,500,000
    Wii - 6,290,000
    Xbox 360 - 4,620,000
    PlayStation 2 - 3,970,000
    PSP - 3,820,000
    PlayStation 3 - 2,560,000
    So what about the total cumulative US sales numbers to date? Those numbers paint a slightly different picture:
    PlayStation 2 - 41,120,000 Nintendo DS - 17,650,000 PSP - 10,470,000 Xbox 360 - 9,150,000 Wii - 7,380,000 PlayStation 3 - 3,250,000
    Our reaction: it's so easy to underestimate the success of the PSP hardware (and it's currently selling like hotcakes in Japan). [kotaku]
