It looks like Halo may have ignited the Xbox 360 sales turbo button, helping the console to outpace the Wii by a narrow 5 percent or so margin.

Not many more surprises here though you'd have to combine PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 sales to beat out the Xbox 360. Maybe today's price drop will help.

Sept. Hardware Sales
Xbox 360: 527,800
Wii: 501,000
Nintendo DS: 495,800
PlayStation Portable: 284,500
PlayStation 2: 215,000
PlayStation 3: 119,400
Game Boy Advance: 75,000
