June NPD: PS3 gets Metal Gear bump, Nintendo makes devilish deal

The Nintendo DS, Sony PSP and PlayStation saw big gains in hardware sale over last month. Industry sales for June were worth $1.69 billion, compared with $1.1 billion last month. Our sneaking suspicion is that Metal Gear Solid 4, which netted 774,600 in its debut month, helped the PS3 in its success. Elsewhere, the Wii's numerical conclusion revealed its devilish, money-printing source of income.

- DS: 783K 330.4K (+73%)
- Wii: 666.7K 8.4K (-1.26%)
- PS3: 405K 196.3K (+94.06%)
- PSP: 337K 144.3K (+74.9%)
- X360: 220K 33.4K (+17.9%)
- PS2: 188K 55.3K (+41.7%)
