Nintendo continues to dominate the hardware charts. Microsoft finally�dropped the price on the Xbox 360, which pushed the system to levels not seen since January. PS3 retained some price drop momentum but lost steam. PS2 continues to go strong for a 7 year old system that’s been replaced. GBA continues to fall going into what will probably be its final holiday season.
On the software side, Madden grabbed 3 of the top 4 spots. Noticeably missing from the top 10 is the Wii version, which finished at #12, one below the version for the original Xbox. Bioshock launched strongly, and between that and Madden, we’ve probably gotten a good glimpse at what the holiday charts will look like. Nintendo’s first party efforts continue to perform well. Their two newest games didn’t get off to the best starts, but they no doubt have the legs to go for a while. Activision has a couple Guitar Hero games in the mix as usual.
