NPD: Nintendo on top with hardware, games
Well, we're all familiar with this sight. Nintendo is on top again, with the NPD numbers for March reporting that the Nintendo kicked ass with the Wii and, you guessed it, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We won't do any further introducing of the sales figures, as that's what you're here for anyway.
Hardware sales in the U.S. for the month of March were:
- Wii: 721K
289K (40%)
- DS: 698K
110.4K (15.8%) [Update: Fixed typo in growth number]
- PSP: 297K
53.9K (18.1%)

7.4K (2.8%)
- PS3: 257K
