DS, CoD4 top December; DS, Halo 3 top overall 2007 NPD figures |
Ó
The NPD Group has finally rolled out the North American sales figures for December and the full year of 2007 - and looking at them, it seems that the videogame industry in a whole should feel justified in popping open a champagne bottle or two. For not only did all the parties involved get a healthy boost in sales, but the industry in general received an annual growth of up to 43%, or US$ 17.94 billion. That's a whole lot of growth, right there.
As usual, we see Nintendo taking the top spots in the hardware categories - with the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS garnering very healthy figures on both December and 2007 sales. On the software side, we see that the Xbox 360 leading with Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Bungie's Halo 3, followed closely by Super Mario Galaxy and the all-time favorite Wii Play. All in all, a very interesting month and a very interesting year as far as sales figures are concerned.

I just hope this puts a stop to "oh teh ps3 will outsellz the 360 n Wii once it's $400!" or like last month when ANALYSTS said "oh now it's the end of 360 it'll outsellz it in
DECEMBER!" or teh Wii iz a fad.Also, it seems like ppl is broke,after buying all those 360 n Wii games!
I read it different on yahoo news....
I rather own a 360 right now.
If I buy ps3, it just going to make me get a flat screen since I on a tube tv right now.
I'd like to see those.
