Good bump for PS3, MGS4 + the 80GB bundle did considerably help sales for the month. It is the first month they significantly outsold the 360 in the US, but to catch up they'll still have a long way to go. So it will be interesting next month to see if it was a 1 month bump or that sales stay higher for at least a little longer.
GTA IV being out of the top 10 already is quite shocking actually. Especially the 360 version still sold almost 900k last month and must have dropped below 260k for this month. I would have expected it to stay in the top 10 a little longer and with NCAA releasing in July and Madden in August I don't see the title reappearing in the top 10 again.
Lego Indiana Jones did great, across all platform it must be easily over 1M. And the Wii version selling the most right out of the gate, is that a first for a multiplatform title?
Hardware wise I'm most impressed by PS3 and DS, I didn't expect such a big increase for PS3 and it appears Nintendo did a great job marketing the DS. Also PSP is surprisingly high, although June might be a great month for handheld systems at the start of the summer season. Wii of course does great, but it is expected by now. Microsoft might have been partly damaged by the additional demand for the PS3 as well as the rumors of a price cut.
All in all another great month for the industry, 1.69 billion in revenue for June is incredible.
