Taking a closer look at the hardware for March shows that the Nintendo DS once again completely outpaced everything else. The handheld sold through 508K units for the month. The PS2, likely fueled by God of War II, came in second with 280K units. The Wii followed with 259K—quite respectable but far lower than certain analyst forecasts, which had pegged it at around 400K. The Wii now stands at 2.1 million in the U.S. Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold another 199K, bringing its life-to-date total to 5.3 million in the U.S. Unfortunately for Sony, the PS3 had another lackluster sales month with just 130K units sold (even fewer than during February when the console sold 136K). The PS3's U.S. total is now 1.2 million. Nintendo's old GBA outsold the PS3 with 148K, while Sony's PSP sold 180K. Finally, the GameCube, although on life support, sold through another 22K.
