June NPD: Nintendo continues to power the industry

By Alisha Karabinus

Another month means another win for Nintendo. Really, we're not sure what else to say. At this point, we think the only way we could turn this around from a more-of-the-same announcement is if we could convince Reggie to tap dance on a platform made from the fragments of defeated consoles.

So, without further ado, let us reveal the specifics of Nintendo's victory. Hint: they sold more than the other guys. Again.

  • Nintendo DS: 561.9k
  • Nintendo Wii: 381.8k
  • Sony PSP: 290.1k
  • Sony PS2: 270.7k
  • Microsoft Xbox 360: 198.4k
  • Sony PS3: 98.5k

The other guys do seem to be holding their own in sales, however. Everyone may still be scrabbling for Wii remotes with Wii Play, and we continue to be a Pokémon nation, but a few other titles continue to dominate the middle spots. We're okay with that. We like variety, even if the sales charts don't reflect that. They do seem an awful lot like last month's, eh?

  1. Mario Party 8 (Wii)
  2. Wii Play w/remote (Wii)
  3. Pokémon Diamond (DS)
  4. Pokémon Pearl (DS)
  5. Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360)
  6. Guitar Hero II w/guitar (PS2)
  7. Guitar Hero II w/guitar (Xbox 360)
  8. Pokémon Battle Revolution (Wii)
  9. Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
  10. The Darkness (Xbox 360)
