Sony eeks out another win over Microsoft's Xbox 360 console in the month of May, while Nintendo reigns supreme with Wii and DS sales.

NPD figures for the month of May show PlayStation 3 outsold Xbox 360. A mere 22k separated the two consoles, hardly putting a dent in Microsoft's huge lead over the battle for total sales. 208k PS3 consoles were purchased last month and 186k Xbox 360s were snatched up by gamers. To date, 19 million Xbox 360s have sold worldwide compared against 13 million PlayStation 3s.

Unsurprisingly, both consoles were obliterated by Wii at 675k. Even Nintendo DS performed better than either PS3 or Xbox 360, generating more sales than both consoles combined with 452k handhelds sold. Nintendo pushed through over a million game systems during May, which nearly doubles PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP sales combined. Counting PlayStation 2 sales and Nintendo still boasted larger sales.

Hand-in-hand with Wii and DS were solid game sales. Seven of the top ten selling games in May were on either platform. Mario Kart Wii took second place with 787k copies in a photo-finish behind the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV with 871k. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTA IV were the only games to make the list for those consoles.

I don't think the Xbox 360 and Microsoft are in a great position right now.

I just feel as if the 'box has lost its thunder, and there's not much to look forward to like there was in the past, when we were anticipating the release of titles by the likes of Halo 3, etc. Surely there's titles up ahead that will certainly catch the attention of the masses, but I honestly believe that with only 6+ million units separating the two (Sony and Xbox 360), Sony has greater odds and is in thee position to catch up and claim second at least.

Either way, it's not so much about the marketshare, I suppose; it's all profit. Even if Xbox 360 ends up last in market share, Microsoft turned a profit this generation and so that will suit 'em, I guess.

Still, with that month over and done with, some consumers should see some changes within the next few months, price cut, most likely.

Good bye.
