June 2010 NPD

I won't dilly-dally around here spouting off about sales data. Why not just show you?

Hardware

PlayStation 3 304.8K
PSP 121.0K
Xbox 360 451.7K
Wii 422.5K
Nintendo DS 510.7K

Overall, every console is up Year Over Year, even the Wii, considering what many believe to be in its decline. Handhelds are not, however; DS is down by a third from last year and PSP is down as well. The big twist? The 360 has outsold the Wii for the month, a very rare sight! This is most likely due to the New Xbox 360 model that debuted at the week at E3. Furthermore, the Xbox "Phats" were also swiftly sold with particular deals and the like. Of course, Red Dead Redemption might be helping with that, too.

Speaking of which...

Software

1) RED DEAD REDEMPTION (360) 582.9K
2) SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 548.4K
3) RED DEAD REDEMPTION (PS3) 380.3K
4) NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. WII 200.9K
5) JUST DANCE 174.8K
6) WII FIT PLUS W/ BALANCE BOARD
7) TOY STORY 3 (NDS)
8) UFC 2010: UNDISPUTED (360)
9) LEGO HARRY POTTER: YEARS 1-4 (Wii)
10) UFC 2010: UNDISPUTED (PS3)

Slow month for new software, as Galaxy 2 and Red Dead Redemption continue their reigns on the top of the Software Charts. It is surprising to see a non-Pokemon game on the top 10 this month, but Toy Story is that good, after all. Meanwhile, UFC moves down and Wii titles move up.

The Wall of Shame :(

Singularity
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Tiger Woods PGA 2011
Other versions of Toy Story 3 and LEGO Harry Potter

That's this month, folks! See you next time...or sooner.

I'm lonely.
