April NPD: Greenberg says May will be better hardware indicator, GTA has new home

Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's Product manager chief and the greenest man in games, told Gamasutra yesterday that April's NPD data - which showed 360 beat PS3 in the States by the slimmest of margins last month - isn't truly representative of the current picture of the market in the US. For that you're going to have to wait until next month.

"We think that May will be a better barometer for hardware sales," he said.

"We're sort of happy to be the new home for GTA, much like we've seen with Madden and Guitar Hero, other franchises traditionally associated with the PlayStation. There's a long list of franchises that used to be exclusive to PlayStation or traditionally sold better on that platform. PS3 isn't performing anywhere near PS2. We're the system with the most games, and the biggest online community. We know that people buy consoles for games."
