The combination of a price cut and PlayStation 3 Slim proved a profitable move for Sony in September, as the month's numbers from the NPD Group were released this afternoon. Sony sold 491,800 units in September, besting Nintendo by just under 30,000 machines and nicely outpacing Xbox 360.

Note: September's tracking period was five weeks, compared to August's four weeks.

* Nintendo DS: 524,200 (down from 552,900)
* Wii: 462,800 (up from 277,400)
* Xbox 360: 352,6000 (up from 215,400)
* PlayStation 3: 491,800 (up from 212,000)
* PSP: 146,000 (up from 140,300)
* PlayStation 2: 146,000 (up from 105,900)

"All three console manufacturers enjoyed the impact of lower prices on unit sales," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier, "as the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 realized an increase over August of 87%, 33%, and 31% respectively, on an average sales per week basis."

Geez! I thought everyone in the world owned a DS. How do they keep selling so many each month.

Also, good to see Sony back in the system war as a much heavier contender in sales.

Wow what a jump.

It's good to see PS3 is now a top contender

If it's a big jump now, imagine what it'll be like during the holiday season.
