NPD Reaction: Sony Looks To the Future, Not The Present

Sony's NPD reactions highlight the company's success with first-party exclusive PlayStation 3 titles while attempting to draw attention toward the company's future, rather than its present, hinting at strong launches of future exclusives and an upswing in sales of the discounted PlayStation 2.

The company had three titles in the NPD top 10, as its competitor Microsoft did. No comments were made on how far behind sales of Resident Evil 5 lag, at fourth place overall compared to the Xbox 360 version's first place finish.

On the other hand, Sony talked up its overall bestselling baseball title, with its PS3-exclusive MLB '09: The Show finishing sixth across all platforms. First-party exclusive Killzone 2 stayed stuck in at seventh place, with an additional 296,000 units sold -- almost equaling its February performance of 323,600 units. (Industry, PS2, PS3, PSP)
