The January 2009 North American hardware numbers are in from NPD Group. Check 'em out!
* Nintendo Wii - 679,000
* Nintendo DS - 510,000
* Xbox 360 - 309,000
* PlayStation 3 - 203,000
* PlayStation Portable - 172,000
* PlayStation 2 - 101,000
As expected, Nintendo's Wii and DS systems led the list. The Xbox 360 continues to widen the gap with the PlayStation 3, though I was told from a source within Sony that it was pleased that the gap wasn't wider. The PlayStation portable did some decent numbers that helped bump its worldwide total to 50 million units sold. Considering that January isn't a big shopping month, the hardware numbers are strong. Nintendo is even touting its year-to-year performance with its two consoles.
