you all failed to use your brains. Who came up with this nonsense that Kinect has made $257m and Move $210m this month ? $257m for ALL accessories. The quoted source is comparing Feb 2010 to Feb 2011. "Total industry sales rose 3% to $1.36 billion, compared to $1.33 billion in February 2010. Sales of video game hardware rose 10% ($467 million vs. $426 million), while software dropped ($601 million vs. $634 million). Video game accessories continued to rise, thanks to Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PlayStation Move products ($257 million vs. $210 million)." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2011/03/npd-video-game-sales-get-a-boost-in-february-/1?csp=34
Here the accessories segment of the most recent NPD report: "Accessories were the largest-gaining segment in the NPD report, up 22 percent to $256.9 million for the month, continuing a streak of strong accessory performance. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33463/NPD_Results_February_2011_Industry_Up_3_Percent_Black_Ops_Maintains_Top_Spot.php $56.5m for the MS point cards alone. |
$56.5m for the MS point cards alone is pretty impressive.
