TheStreet reports on their industry view of Sony and other industry players in this article about Sony's strategy and the results shown in the latest NPD numbers: "Sony's latest PlayStation 3 console has stretched its lead over rival Microsoft's xbox 360 last month, though it still lags behind Nintendo's Wii system, according to industry research firm The NPD Group. Sony sold 405,500 PS3s, compared to 219,800 xbox 360s but still has a long way to go before it catches up with the Wii, which sold 666,700 systems last month." "Sony stumbled when it launched the expensive PS3 console a year-and-a-half ago and trailed its competitors for months. That's in contrast to its position as the clear market leader with the older PlayStation 2 console."
