Nintendo's Wii Leads Console Sales, Fending Off Sony Price Cuts
By Michael White
Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co.'s Wii regained the lead in U.S. video-game console sales in October, fending off price cuts by Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp. ahead of the holiday sales season.
U.S. retailers sold 519,000 Wiis, a gain of 36 percent from September, when the release of the video-game ``Halo 3'' lifted Microsoft's Xbox 360 to first place, NPD Group Inc., a Port Washington, New York-based researcher, said today in an e-mailed statement.
Stores sold 366,000 Xbox 360 players and 121,000 of Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles. Activision Inc.'s ``Guitar Hero III'' was the top-selling game at 1.17 million copies, NPD said.
Wii's gain reflects increased production for the Christmas season, George Harrison, Nintendo's U.S. marketing chief, said in an interview. October sales increased even though Sony cut the PS3 price. Microsoft lowered Xbox prices in August.
``We've weathered that pretty well,'' Harrison said. ``It should be a very good holiday season.
Nintendo plans to maintain its holiday production rate of 1.8 million a month through the first quarter of 2008 to see if consumers will continue buying, Harrison said. The rate compares to about 1 million a month during last year's holidays, he said.
Nintendo sold every Wii shipped to the U.S. in October, with units typically staying on shelves for only a few days.
Microsoft fell 17 cents to $33.76 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. U.S.-traded Sony shares lost 27 cents to $48.38 on the New York Stock Exchange and Kyoto-based Nintendo fell 700 yen to 63,300 yen in trading in Osaka.
Prices
Tokyo-based Sony cut the PlayStation 3 price by $100 to $499 on Oct. 18 and introduced a $399 model on Nov. 2. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft dropped the price of the cheapest Xbox 360 to $280 from $300 in August. Wii sells for $249.
The price cut and new model helped Sony increase sales of all consoles including the older PlayStation 2 to 100,000 units in the week ended Nov. 11, spokeswoman Kimberly Otzman said in an e-mail.
Harrison said Wii sales during the same week exceeded that number by a ``double-digit percentage. He declined to provide a specific figure.
The Xbox 360 outsold Wii, introduced last November, for the first time in September on surging demand for the software maker's ``Halo 3,'' made exclusively for Xbox. In October ``Halo 3'' sales totaled 433,800, NPD said.

October 2007 was a strong month for the PlayStation brand, according to NPD data. Overall the PlayStation brand showed a 39% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year in the US with total sales of $353.4 million for the month. Overall, SCEA's console business remains strong with combined sales of PS3 and PS2 for the month of October at $258.5 million in revenue.
The PLAYSTATION 3 sold 121K units at retail for the month of October. SCEA expects a great deal of momentum moving forward this holiday and beyond with the availability of new PS3 hardware and pricing. Based on internal data, the company is already seeing a great spike in sales with a 192% lift for the PS3 over the past two weeks. In fact, as reported by Howard Stringer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sony Corporation of America, 100,000 units of the PLAYSTATION 3 were sold at retail just last week.
To add to this, the PS3 software lineup continues to strengthen as we head into the holiday season with must-have titles like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Assassin's Creed, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword on store shelves. Also, upcoming third party exclusives hitting just in time for the holidays, such as Unreal Tournament III and Haze, will only add to our success this season.
The PSP sold 286K units at retail for the month of October. Overall sales of the PSP are up 120% year over year due to the popularity of the slimmer and lighter PSP , which includes video-out capabilities for $169. And with 24 first and third-party software titles being released this holiday season, such as SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Tactical Strike and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions,as well as new spots for the wildly popular “Dude, get your own” campaign, the PSP will undoubtedly continue to gain momentum through the coming months.
Seven years into it's life cycle the PS2 remains the best-selling gaming platform ever released, selling 183K units for the month of October. The release of games such as BUZZ! The Mega Quiz, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and the just released limited-edition PS2 bundled with SingStar Pop will continue to make the console a perfect choice for families interested in social games and will be hugely popular this holiday season.
