April 2009 Sales: Wii Fit, DS Kick Ass And Chew Bubble Gum The NPD Group has released the US software and hardware sales figures for the month of April and guess what, Nintendo wiped the floor with everyone again. The DS had a particularly disgusting month. Check it out:


Software
  1. Wii Fit - 471K
  2. Pokemon Platinum DS - 433K
  3. Mario Kart Wii - 210K
  4. Wii Play - 170K
  5. The Godfather II (360) - 155K
  6. Resident Evil 5 (360) - 122K
  7. New Super Mario Bros. (DS) - 119K
  8. Mario Kart DS - 112K
  9. Guitar Hero Aerosmith (360) - 110K
  10. The Godfather II (PS3) - 91K

Hardware
  1. Nintendo DS - 1.04M
  2. Wii - 340K
  3. Xbox 360 - 175K
  4. PlayStation 2 - 172K
  5. PlayStation 3 - 127K
  6. PSP - 116K

Well, that DSi launch really worked out for Nintendo, didn't it? I suspect there will be a lot of creampies thrown Sony's way today over the PS3 sales, specifically the fact that they're now below PS2 sales. Still, Xbox 360 didn't exactly have a stellar month either.

On the software side, it seems Godfather II had a decent debut. It's the only April release on the list, actually. I guess it's a good idea to have your game share a title with one of the most highly-regarded films of the last fifty years.
