Video game accessories continued to rise, thanks to Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PlayStation Move products ($257 million vs. $210 million)

 

All consoles are up, it's a great month for gaming in the US, and as usual Sony stay alive.

And I believe this is one of those adjustment months for NPD as software does show this huge rise in consoles.

Exactly, waiting for PS3/Wii numbers ^-¨


What's your guess?

300-350k for Wii and PS3, Give PS3 70% chance to sell more than Wii but also in that range;.



 

 

Wii Tops 35 Million in Sales as Multiple Games Hit Major Milestones

Nintendo’s Wii™ console has crossed the 35 million sales mark in the United States, according to the NPD Group. More than 454,000 Wii consoles sold in February to put Wii across the 35 million mark faster than any other console in U.S. history.

February proved to be a notable month for Nintendo software as well. Not only was Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft the No. 1 best-selling game of the month with more than 554,000 sold, but four Nintendo games reached new sales milestones. Donkey Kong Country™ Returns for the Wii console, which launched in November 2010, crossed the 2 million mark in February, while New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii, which launched in November 2009, just crossed the 8 million sales mark.

On the portable side, the Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version game for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems launched in March 2010 and crossed the 2 million sales mark in February, while the New Super Mario Bros. game, which launched in May 2006, just passed 9 million in sales. These milestones further demonstrate the “evergreen” nature of games that play on Nintendo systems.

So this could make my Wii prediction of 269,000 look a bit low.

Looking at Feb 2010 numbers, it's really not that surprising, but all three consoles are up from those numbers.

Xbox 360 - 422.0K 

Wii - 397.9K 
PlayStation 3 - 360.1K
