依然是销量最好的游戏机之一

这句话真不错，记下来:D

sales - cost of goods sold = gross profit
gross profit - other expenses = net income

恩。。sales这东西怎么减少。。卖不出去也是不增加而已。。。。。。

PS3整体保证增长，這意思大概是PS3的總銷量保持增長沒有變少吧？

问题在于，总销量如何变少.........?

如果理解为和上个月比，战神说比上个月卖的少，难道战神在骗人？

maintain an overall increase in sales
保持了销售额的全面上升（指psp,ps3,ps2同时上升）
相比的是8月还是去年同期要看原文

According to NPD data, September 2007 was a strong month for the PlayStation brand, which showed a 13% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year in the US with total sales of $337 million for the month.
PS3 continues to maintain an overall increase in sales, with 119K units sold at retail for the month. Also, with the new $399 40GB PLAYSTATION 3 SKU hitting store shelves on November 2nd, a new $499 price point for the 80GB model effective immediately, and highly anticipated titles available this holiday, such as Racthet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the PS3 is poised for very strong performance through the holiday season and into 2008.
The PSP had a great month, selling 285K units for the month. Success at retail is due to the release of the new slimmer and lighter PSP in North America which includes video-out capabilities for $169, the success of the Star Wars and Daxter Entertainment Packs, and the release of great titles such as Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow.
PS2 sales remained very strong for the month of September, selling 215K units, making it one of the best-selling consoles on the market.

原文并没有明确指出，那么就这一句话

sales上升是什么意思？难道sales还会下降？

自然sales指的当月销售额，具体是指软件还是硬件就不清楚了。
overall  increase in sales没有累计销售额得意思

好，你否定了累计销售额，肯定了当月销售额，那么overall increase in 当月销售额是什么意思？

可能是指相对上月软硬件销售额增加

战神说比8月低

B神说的是硬件，有可能指软硬件或单指软件

With the Wii, Nintendo DS and Xbox 360 sitting pretty atop the NPD hardware sales charts and Madden NFL 08 taking the numero uno spot in the software sales charts, you'd think that Sony would have nothing to sing about. Guess again. Sony's official statement on the subject called August 2007 "a strong month for the PlayStation brand" citing $340 million in sales.

With the PLAYSTATION 3 in last place for the month, admittedly without Game Boy Advance figures, Sony says of the next-gen contender that it " finished off the summer by maintaining a steady increase in units sold over pre-July numbers, with 130,623 units sold at retail for the month" boasting of a "61% lift at retail over the past two months."

The company points to "some out of stock situations" at retail for the month-to-month decrease in PSP sales. While some potential PSP buyers may have been simply holding onto their cash waiting for the PSP 2000 revision, Sony says that decreased supplies of the current PSP were partially due to the transition in manufacturing to the new model.

We simply can't wait to hear from Microsoft and Nintendo.

软硬件？单指软件，你的英文果然很强大

无论是ps family 还是单单ps3的9月份的sales都比八月份低，你要如何解释这个increase in sales?用软件来解释？

单指软件，单指硬件，或者软硬件都说不通。应该就是累计销量上涨的意思。

软饭英文水平低到这帖被别人收藏了，受点教育是应该的

反正不管怎么翻译，这个overall increase in sales都不含有累计销售得意思

给两段类似用法自己看：
The last column in this table gives the ratio of each class' sales increase to the overall increase in  ...

不当作累计销售，9月比8月低，如何解释？
