The industry-tracking NPD Group released its sales figures for the US March
retail period today, and despite at least one analyst's expectations, the
streak of significant sales growth has continued for another month.
For the period of March 4 to April 7, game software sales jumped 33 percent
over the March 2006 time frame to land at $574 million. Hardware sales were
up 69 percent to $370 million, with the overall industry figures (hardware,
software, and accessories) totaling $1.1 billion, a 33 percent increase over
the previous March.
Like the industry itself, the Nintendo DS continued its strong performance,
topping all hardware with 508,000 systems sold for the month. The PlayStation
2 was next in line with 280,000, followed by the Wii (259,000), the Xbox 360
(199,000), the PlayStation Portable (180,000), the Game Boy Advance
(148,000), and the PlayStation 3 (130,000).
(美國三月銷售量為PS2 280000台，Wii 259000台，Xbox360 148000台，
PSP 180000台，Game Boy 148000台，最後一名是PS3 僅僅只有13萬台)
Software sales were driven by a handful of new releases, with God of War II
for PS2 sitting atop the charts, boasting sales of 833,000. That's double the
second-place finisher, the Xbox 360 edition of Ghost Recon Advanced
Warfighter 2, which pulled in sales of 394,000. The Xbox 360 version of
Guitar Hero 2 saw release in the waning days of the reporting period, but
still managed to net sales of 291,000 for the $89.99 guitar-equipped bundle
in half a week of release.
Wii Play (packed in with a Wii Remote) continued to be the best-selling title
on Nintendo's new platform, moving 273,000 during the March period.
Meanwhile, the PS3-exclusive MotorStorm was that system's best seller,
rounding out the top five and narrowly missing the 200k mark with 199,000
copies sold.
Shortly after the NPD reported its numbers, Sony and Nintendo sent out
statements to present the figures in a favorable light. In its missive, Sony
noted that the PS2 outsold all console hardware for the month, and that the
PS3 was the only next-gen console to see an increase over its February sales.
Sony said that was despite PS3 supply problems in the US in March, as
production had been shifted to focus on the system's European launch. The PS3
also launched in Australia in March.
For Nintendo's part, the Wii and DS maker said it "once again claimed the top
two spots among the best-selling new video game systems in America," despite
what it called "widespread shortages" for both systems. Nintendo's statement
also boasted that the Wii is "the fastest-selling new console in more than a
decade" over its first five months of US availability, and that it had sold
more systems so far this year than "all other manufacturers combined."
A Microsoft representative had not responded to GameSpot's request for
comment as of press time.

PS3在美國的死刑....確定！
(賣的比GB還差，還能指望什麼....)
簡單說，PS3在海外市場已經全掛了...
Sony準備打日本本土決戰了...
幸運的是，微軟打日本打的很艱難...日本人不買美國人的帳...
但是...光是PS2和Wii夾殺市場...就讓PS3在日本撐不下去...
Sony勢必得從PS2和PS3二選一...Sony該怎麼選呢...敬請期待...
(但是沒意外的話....死的會是PS3...0
