The NPD Group released their June sales data for North America on Thursday and surprise surprise, the DS and Wii won in hardware sales. The software sales has several new faces, though.
Hardware Sales:
Software Sales:
Prototype, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10, and Fight Night Round 4 were all released in June so it's nice to see they did okay even though the summer's traditionally slow for gaming. This is apparently the first month that Wii Play hasn't appeared in the Top 10 since February 2007. I suppose that game's being crowded out by other athletic fare like PGA TOUR 10, EA Sports Active, and Wii Fit. On the hardware side of things, the Xbox 360 is the only platform to see an increase in sales compared to last year but that's partly due to how crappy of a June 2008 they had. |
