"The dire prediction that PS3 would only sell 100k units in April was way off target. It was too high.NPD released their numbers today, and unfortunately, the situation is so grim that Sony's PR machine may not be able to come up with a suitable spin. Sony's latest console endeavor sold through only 82k units. In comparison, the Xbox 360 sold through 174k units (which is also, admittedly, disappointing).All hope is not lost, of course. NPD's Anita Frasier spoke to GameDaily about the state of the PS3: \"Undoubtedly the sales results are not encouraging to date, but I for one am not counting out the PS3,\" she said. \"While there has been good content available for the platform, there hasn't yet been the 'killer' title that tends to drive hardware sales acquisition among the broader audience. As the content ramps up, I'm confident the hardware sales will too. Rather than revisit this each and every month, particularly as we head into traditionally slower months of the year, I think we should really wait to see what the picture looks like in 6 months. Everything will be much clearer then.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
