The NPD Group has released the US software and hardware sales figures for the month of April and guess what, Nintendo wiped the floor with everyone again. The DS had a particularly disgusting month. Check it out:
Software
Wii Fit – 471K
Pokemon Platinum DS – 433K
Mario Kart Wii – 210K
Wii Play – 170K
The Godfather II (360) – 155K
Resident Evil 5 (360) – 122K
New Super Mario Bros. (DS) – 119K
Mario Kart DS – 112K
Guitar Hero Aerosmith (360) – 110K
The Godfather II (PS3) – 91K
Hardware
Nintendo DS – 1.04M
Wii – 340K
Xbox 360 – 175K
PlayStation 2 – 172K
PlayStation 3 – 127K
PSP – 116K
Well, that DSi launch really worked out for Nintendo, didn’t it? I suspect there will be a lot of creampies thrown Sony’s way today over the PS3 sales, specifically the fact that they’re now below PS2 sales. Still, Xbox 360 didn’t exactly have a stellar month either.
On the software side, it seems Godfather II had a decent debut. It’s the only April release on the list, actually. I guess it’s a good idea to have your game share a title with one of the most highly-regarded films of the last fifty years.
