Round one of the PS3 vs. Wii match went to Nintendo. Nintendo's Wii outsold Sony's PS3 by a huge margin in April according to The NPD Group.
The NPD Group tabulates monthly hardware and software sales in the video games industry and it is closely watched by everyone in the business.
My story on April's NPD data is here.
From the NPD story: Sony sold just 82,000 PS3s in April, compared with 360,000 Wiis, fewer even than the 84,000 devices of the Game Boy Advance, a fading console from Nintendo that was released in 2001. Both the Wii and PS3 were launched in November.
I also think Sony will be forced to cut price of the PS3 because it needs to spur sales. That story is here.
