The sales of PlayStation 3 from Sony and that of Xbox 360 of Microsoft increased, but the sales of Nintendo’s Wii games fell reveals market research firm NPD Group Inc.
Analyst with Webush Securities Michael Pachter said, “Wii is responsible for all of the annual decline… Wii owners are buying fewer games per capita than people who own the other two consoles.”
The group also reports that the hardware sales are up. Ther has been a 12% jump in the sales of console in the month of July where as the sales of game fell 8%.
NPD’s game analyst Anita frazier said, “It’s the first time since September 2007, when Microsoft launched Halo 3, that the 360 was the top-selling hardware platform.”
