An incredible jump for the 360 into first fueled by Halo 3. The Wii doesn't seem to be slowing down either as it also has its best month ever. The PS3 continues to fall in the same month Heavenly Sword is released.

Next month will be critical for the PS3 and the 360. The $400 stripped down PS3 package could potentially provide a much needed boost to PS3 sales as it gets closer in price to the 360. Just as important will be to see if the 360 can maintain its momentum provided by Halo 3, or if it will just be a short term boost. And of course there's the Wii, which just continues to sell units at a phenomenal pace - but Wii games aren't selling nearly as well. Will this change as we get closer to the holidays?
