The Official March NPD Thread

@BKK2: Maybe sales from 2007 don't provide a good picture, at least 1 data point isn't enough to see a trend. I do know Wii was completely supply constrained and PS3's sales kept falling in the months afterwards after fulfilling the demand from launch. So that only leaves 360 as a possible indication of decreasing sales from February to March, but it might just as well be caused by game releases and other announcements.

March sales have been down from February sales for the previous 5 years according to NPD. February is generally a bigger month for HW sales than March.
