May is half-way finished, but the NPD Group likes to release things kind of late. Check out the hardware sales for the month of April in the United States:

Xbox 360 - 295,381
PlayStation 2 - 206,995
Game Boy Advance - 169,115
PlayStation Portable - 162,438
Nintendo DS - 138,427
Xbox - 38,987
Gamecube - 38,028

It’s a lot different from Japan. Nintendo DS is in a large lead across the ocean, while the 360 is being ignored. How will the release of the Nintendo DS lite in June affect the market? Only time can tell…
