Jacob Mazel of VGChartz writes: "NPD will report USA videogame sales for the five weeks ending April 5, 2008 on Thursday April 17, 2008 at ~6:30 pm EST. Vgchartz data for the five week period is already available. Last month, the sales reported by NPD were from a four week month, so while total sales for the month are up on a monthly basis, on an average weekly basis only Wii and PSP saw increased sales compared to February.
Expect NPD data for the USA to reveal that:
-Super Smash Brothers Brawl for Wii was the top selling game of the month, selling over two million units
-PS3 sales and Xbox 360 sales were nearly identical this month.
-PS2 was the top selling Sony system
-PSP had its strongest month for software in ages, with two titles represented in the top ten
-DS and Wii both averaged over 120,000 units sold per week.
Vgchartz data which covers the Americas, rather than just the USA, shows the following hardware data for the five week period:
