September’s US hardware numbers (courtesy of their respective companies):
1) Xbox 360 (438,000)
2) 3DS (360,000)
3) Wii (240,000)

At this point in time, Microsoft is looking likely to have the most amount of console sales for 2011, but the year is not over yet. Three more months of sales could change things around…we’ll see.
