NPD Sales Data – January 2009

Wii Love Money

Did you honestly think Nintendo wouldn’t come out on top again? One of these months, either the Wii or DS will fall to number 3 or lower. Who knows when it’ll happen.

Overall sales saw a 13% year of year increase, which is pretty damn good considering the current economic climate.

  • Wii – 679.2K
  • Nintendo DS – 510.8K
  • Xbox 360 – 309K
  • PlayStation 3 – 203.2K
  • PSP – 172.3K
  • PlayStation 2 – 101.2K

Software was up 10% year over year, but what really surprised me was that only two new releases made the top ten.

  1. WII FIT – WII – 777K
  2. WII PLAY W/ REMOTE – WII – 415K
  3. MARIO KART W/WHEEL – WII – 292K
  4. LEFT 4 DEAD – 360 – 243K
  5. CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR* – 360 – 235K
  6. SKATE 2 – 360 – 199K
  7. GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR* – WII – 155K
  8. NEW SUPER MARIO BROS – NDS – 135K
  9. MARIO KART DS – NDS – 132K
  10. LORD OF THE RINGS: CONQUEST – PS3 – 113K

(*includes CE, GOTY editions, bundles, etc. but not those bundled with hardware)
