Whose winning this generation’s console wars? According to VGCharts, a site I just found, the answer is the XBox 360. Unless you count the DS, in which case the DS is winning handily. Take a looksee.

Also of interest is their top games of 2006 in North America. While these numbers do not include December yet (which should vastly inflate them, as Christmas is prime time for the games industry), a quick glance at the numbers shows the industry as being in quite a slump. In 2004, 13 games sold more than a million copies, with 4 besting the 2 million mark. In 2006, by comparison, 8 games bested the million mark, with only Madden crossing into two. Consider: GTA San Andreas was, according to this list, the 10th best selling game of the year. It shipped in 2004.

Hopefully we’ll see a rebound this year, as all three new consoles hit their stride.
