IndustryGamers has just received the July NPD video game sales data, and as was predicted, software sales were down again, dipping eight percent to $403.3 million. Hardware, however, driven in part by the Xbox 360 slim and price reductions on older 360 models, climbed 12 percent to $313.8 million. As a result, total industry sales were down just one percent in July, reaching $846.5 million. Year-to-date, total game industry sales in the U.S. are now at $7.51 billion, which is behind 2009's pace by eight percent.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
It's about time we talk about the flamethrower and how it should be made better in Helldivers 2, starting with the ability to destroy bug holes.
Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.
Terrible sales, sports games on top ouch.
Interesting.
A disagree for wondering where Starcraft 2 is? Ah.......K?
PSP is dead seriously, not even 100K. And PS3 demand is shrinking now that the slim effect is gone.
As for the 360 just imagine Aug when the $199 releases. Then Sept with Reach and the bundle.
The gap will likely grow to 7ml by year end with Kinect coming.
@cescgooner88
Will be big but not a huge system seller since there are over 4ml GT PS3 owners already from GT5P. I will sell 500K units max in EU and thats not a lot.
@DuneBuggy
If Kinect takes off it can.
@kartik21
Gears 3 says hi. And by the time the PS3 reaches $199 it will be too late.
Big sales for X360. I did not expect that much. It would be interesting to know the numbers for StarCraft II.
