Forums - Sales Discussion - The Official February 2009 NPD Thread

Edge online is reporting Microsoft has sent out a press release stating they sold 391,000 360's last month. 4 games in the top 10 (SFIV, COD WAW, Fear 2 and Skate 2). No numbers for them

 

"Ahead of official NPD Group industry sales data, Microsoft has claimed to have sold 391K Xbox 360 hardware units during February, an increase of 53 percent over the same month a year ago.


The figure is also up from January 2009, which saw sales of 309K units.

A September 2008 price cut that brought the entry-level Xbox 360's price to $199 spurred the sales momentum that reached a peak during the holidays.

Microsoft also confirmed that the February digital release of the Grand Theft Auto IV expansion, The Lost and Damned, set a first-day sales record for Xbox Live. The add-on sells for $20 exclusively on Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 version of four games occupied the month's top 10 list: Street Fighter IV, Call of Duty: World at War, Fear 2 and Skate 2.

Halo Wars, which fell outside of NPD's February retail calendar with a March 3 release, has sold 1 million units worldwide.

The firm said that the Xbox 360 software tie ratio stands at 8.2 games per console on average."

Looks like both Pachter and eedar are off as they predicted 300k for the 360.





Anyone know if this NPD includes part of March since it was delayed? This could be why it is 391k maybe?

If not, GREAT JOB 360!
