While the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4 sold 850,000 more copies than the PlayStation 3 edition, the hardware race between the two consoles was far closer--the 360 outsold its shiny black competitor by a mere 900 units.

- Wii - 714,200
- Nintendo DS - 414,800
- PSP - 192,700
- Xbox 360 - 188,000
- PlayStation 3 - 187,100
- PlayStation 2 - 124,400
Meanwhile, April's best-selling console games in the U.S. were:
- Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar, X360) - 1,850,000
- Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo, Wii) - 1,120,000
- Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar, PS3) - 1,000,000

Boom Blox is pretty neat.
Except the Gamecube at its height maybe sold half of the systems the Wii has already sold?
People could be buying the Wii for Wii Sports dude, not all Wii buyers have to be getting Mario Kart
