    June NPD Numbers: Wii Remains Dominant

    PS3 growing pains continue pre-price cut. By Patrick Klepek, 07/23/2007

    UPDATE: NPD Group has issued a statement there was an error in the original numbers -- PSP actually sold 290,100, not 230,000, as was originally listed.

    ORIGINAL STORY: It's that time again, folks, as the NPD Group has released the official numbers for June 2007. And, for once, there's good news all around, despite the slow summer schedule -- yes, even for PlayStation 3. Nevertheless, the story remains the same: Wii continues leading the pack, Xbox 360 still doubles Sony's sales and PS3's lack of software continues to play a large problem.

    Oh, and Nintendo DS sold a truckload. Surprise? Here's the breakdown, versus the last few months, with the underlined numbers being the most recent, June 2007:

    March 2007 vs. April 2007 vs. May 2007 vs. June 2007
  • PlayStation 3: 130,000 vs. 82,000 vs. 81,600 vs. 98,500
  • Xbox 360: 199,000 vs. 174,000 vs. 155,000 vs. 198,400
  • Wii: 259,000 vs. 360,000 vs. 338,000 vs. 381,800

  • Nintendo DS: 508,000 vs. 471,000 vs. 423,000 vs. 561,000
  • PSP: 180,000 vs.183,000 vs. 221,000 vs. 230,000
  • Software sales remained as expected, Nintendo obviously dominating many of the top spots thanks to continually strong hardware sales for both Wii and Nintendo DS. 2K Games' The Darkness barely managed to crack the top 10, coming in at the bottom spot, beat out by Capcom's Wii-modified version of Resident Evil 4. Elsewhere, Forza Motorsport 2 continues to sell well, as does the Guitar Hero series.

  • 1. Mario Party 8 (Wii) -- 426,200
  • 2. Wii Play w/ Remote (Wii) -- 293,200
  • 3. Pokemon Diamond (Nintendo DS) -- 288,400
  • 4. Pokemon Pearl (Nintendo DS) -- 214,700
  • 5. Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360) -- 197,400
  • 6. Guitar Hero 2 w/ guitar (PlayStation 2) -- 197,350
  • 7. Guitar Hero 2 w/ guitar (Xbox 360) -- 177,600
  • 8. Pokemon Battle (Wii) -- 157,900
  • 9. Resident Evil 4 (Wii) -- Unavailable
  • 10. The Darkness (Xbox 360) -- Unavailable
  • 11. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 (PlayStation 2) -- Unavailable
  • 12. Transformers: the Game (PlayStation 2) -- Unavailable
  • 13. Tenchu Z (Xbox 360) -- Unavailable
  • 14. New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo DS) -- Unavailable
  • 15. Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PlayStation 2) -- Unavailable
  • 16. Super Paper Mario (Wii) -- Unavailable
  • 17. Transformers: The Game (Xbox 360) -- Unavailable
  • 18. MLB '07: The Show (PlayStation 2) -- Unavailable
  • 19. Big Brain Academy (Wii) -- Unavailable
  • 20. Dirt (Xbox 360) -- Unavailable
