Figures are for Dec. 2007; all of 2007; platform' s life-to-date. As always, these are for North America only.

1. Nintendo DS 2.47 million 8.50 million 17.65 million
2. Wii 1.35 million 6.29 million 7.38 million
3. Xbox 360 1.26 million 4.62 million 9.15 million
4. PlayStation 2 1.1 million 3.97 million 41.12 million
5. PSP 1.06 million 3.82 million 10.47 million
6. PlayStation 3 797.6 K 2.56 million 3.25 million


Says Wired.

" I' ve been asked a lot if PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware sales were likely to benefit from the scarce supply of Wii' s at retail," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier in a statement today. " Since hardware sales are most influenced by the kinds of games a consumer wants to play, and it would appear that the PS2 was a more likely ' substitute choice' in that scenario," she said.

It' s interesting that this takes into account the full effect of the PS3' s mid-November price drop, but the most notable numbers to me are that the 360 got very close to matching the Wii in sales.
