John Riccitiello must be a very happy man right now.

Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS, PC, PS3, PS2) has dominated the NPD US charts for August. The game's Xbox 360 version is sitting pretty at the top spot with a million units sold while the PS3 and PS2 versions are in second and third place with 643,000 and 424,500 units sold, respectively.

Nintendo's Wii Fit gave a strong showing, too, getting the fourth spot with 394,900 units sold. At fifth is another Nintendo title, Mario Kart Wii, with 328,700 units sold. Here's a complete list of the top ten games:

Madden NFL 09 (EA Tiburon, Xbox 360) - 1,000,000
Madden NFL 09 (EA Tiburon, PlayStation 3) - 643,000
Madden NFL 09 (EA Tiburon, PlayStation 2) - 424,500
Wii Fit (Nintendo, Wii) - 394,900
Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo, Wii) - 328,700
Wii Play (Nintendo, Wii) - 200,200
Soul Calibur IV (Project Soul, Xbox 360) - 174,000
Too Human (Silicon Knights, Xbox 360) - 168,200
Madden NFL 09 (EA Tiburon, Wii) - 115,800
Guitar Hero: On Tour (Vicarious Visions, Nintendo DS) - 111,200

There's only one DS title in the top ten software, but the Nintendo portable is still number one in the August hardware sales, selling 518,300 units. At second is the Wii with 453,000 units sold, while the PSP is third with 253,00 units sold.

Rounding out the top five are the Xbox 360, selling a total of 195,200 units and getting the fourth spot, and the PS3 with 185,400 units sold. It's worth noting that the Xbox 360 price cut didn't affect the August sales as it took effect only this month.

I don't get it..

"anyway nice to see ps3 closing in 360 as the ps3 closes in over the nest year"

Why is that nice? Do you own stock in Sony other than the small amount invested in your ps3?

Also in response to your comment I wouldn't count on it. Wait till the reports come out next month it's going to be sad for the ps3 only owners.

You should just be like me and get both systems that way you never lose! :) I'll be playing fable and LBP next month yahoo.. I'm much more excited about LBP though.

Or get the top selling Wii and the top selling PC so you can be a fanboy and thumb your nose at everyone just like wilmheath.

"Why is that nice? Do you own stock in Sony other than the small amount invested in your ps3?"

Gee, someone else that doesn't "get it". That's nice because the BETTER the PS3 does the more willingly people companies are to dump money into it. Gees, that's like high school Econ common sense.

I'm glad the 360 outsold the ps3 since the ps3 is trash it's almost as bad as the Wii.
