Wii sales are up 55% from October of last year and 46% from September 2008. While 360 sales are only up 1% from last year, Gamasutra says it's a bit of an unfair comparison since Microsoft had just cut the price in August 2007 and released Halo 3 in September. When compared to September 2008, sales are up 34%.

PS3 sales have been consistent for the last 3 months which has allowed Microsoft to catch up in year-to-date sales. In August the PS3 enjoyed a 277,000 lead in YTD sales over the 360. Now Microsoft has an 18,000 unit YTD lead over the PS3.
