NPD: Nintendo rocks yet another month

Nintendo does it again, as they manage to utterly dominate the competition for yet another month. The latest NPD sales figures for May show Nintendo's DS and Wii topping the charts, with a surprise third place contender in Sony's PSP handheld (likely due to a price drop). The hardware break down is as follows:

  • Nintendo DS: 423K

  • Nintendo Wii: 338K

  • Sony PSP: 221K

  • Sony PlayStation 2: 187K

  • Microsoft Xbox 360: 155K

  • Sony PlayStation 3: 81K

Aside from the hardware sales, Nintendo's software also kicked some tail climbing to the top of the charts. Not only were the obvious poking men on the chart, but also some Nintendo software you might not otherwise have thought could have sold so well in May. The software figures are:

  • Pokémon Diamond (DS)

  • Mario Party 8 (Wii)

  • Spider-Man 3 (PS2)

  • Pokémon Pearl (DS)

  • Wii Play w/remote (Wii)

  • Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)

  • Guitar Hero II w/guitar (Xbox 360)

  • Spider-Man 3 (Xbox 360)

  • Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Xbox 360)
