April 2009 NPD sales

April 2009 NPD sales

Sales figures for the month of April 2009 are in, as tracked by the supercool NPD Group. Note these numbers include the US only.

  1. Nintendo DS - 1,040,000
  2. Nintendo Wii - 340,000
  3. Xbox 360 - 175,000
  4. Sony PS Triple - 127,000
  5. PSP - 116,000

So the DSi has really given Nintendo a shot in the arm when it comes to handheld units. For other machines, sales are markedly down across the board, most likely due to the financial turmoil this crazy world is in.

In terms of software, Nintendo is looking good there too:

  1. Wii Fit (Wii)
  2. Pokemon Platinum (DS)
  3. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
  4. Wii Play (Wii)
  5. The Godfather 2 (360)
  6. Resident Evil 5 (360)
  7. New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
  8. Mario Kart DS (DS)
  9. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (360)
  10. The Godfather 2 (PS3)

Am I the only one who noticed that the DS has sold almost ten times as much as the PSP? Well done big N. We have a new name this month 'Sony PS triple' funny, I think sorry imitation 3 is funnier though.
