NPD: US gaming industry down 8%

Posted on Friday, 15 October 2010 by Speed, source: Gamasutra
The NPD Group have released the latest sales data for the US (not including actual hardware numbers) and things don't seem to be going all too great over there.

The overall revenue for games sales saw a drop from $1.32 billion to $1.22 billion while hardware went down from $472 million to $383 million, that's a whopping 19%.

For the entire year, US sales for the gaming industry are running behind compared to last year with hardware having dropped already 13% and software 8%. This doesn't include digital sales though, so it's possible the software part isn't doing so bad.

The retail sales for games resulted in the following chart for September:
1. Halo: Reach (Microsoft, Xbox 360) 3,300,000
2. Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, PSP)
3. Dead Rising 2 (Capcom, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
4. NHL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360, PS3)
5. FIFA Soccer 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, NDS)
6. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (Square Enix, PSP)
7. Mafia II (Take-Two, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
8. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (Activision Blizzard, PS3, Xbox 360, NDS, Wii)
9. Metroid: Other M (Nintendo, Wii)
10. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision Blizzard, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo may claim that the current generation of consoles still has plenty of potential, but the dropping sales numbers seem to suggest otherwise...
