Take from this what you will. 2006 obviously wasn't fair due to shortages. For all of 2007 though, even with the shortages during the start of 2007, the Wii stayed at the top and would not let go. The 360 isn't doing too bad this year and the PS3 sold much more in June than the 2 months before, this price drop (or clearance) should show a big increase in July sales, possibly higher than the 360 when combined with Red Ring controversy?
