The professional gaming blog Joystiq posted console hardware sales figures for May in the US. For the most part sales are down across the board as we entered the summer video game lull, however analysts were surprised by an actual increase in the number of PS2 units sold compared to April. There is some speculation that the hugely successful Kingdom Hearts II or the large sticker price of the PS3 drove PS2 sales. The Sony PSP continues to out sell the Nintendo DS. Yet DS sales are on the rise and the PSP took a 17.1% slide. Not included in the post, but worth mentioning, is Xbox 360 supply has officially caught up with demand. Could there be a possible price drop in the future? With the PS3 being so expensive and the Wii so cheap will Microsoft keep the X360 price where it is?
