July 2011 NPD hardware sales

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

Nintendo DS: Best selling platform.
Xbox 360: 277K (-37.5%)
Wii: 190K (-25%)
PS3: 148k (-31%)

Regarding the 3DS, we can determine that the system sold no more than 114,000 units in the United States last month. The exact NPD figure isn’t available, so it’s possible that the actual sales number is significantly lower than 114K.

And while is unclear how well the DS sold, it’s been confirmed that it was the best-selling system last month – that’s according to Nintendo’s press release.

You won’t find any Wii or 3DS sales here. But yes, this is actually Nintendo’s response for the July 2011 NPD data, it seems…

Just Dance 2 Becomes Eighth Wii Title to Sell More Than 5 Million Units
Just Dance® 2 from Ubisoft®, which plays exclusively on Nintendo’s Wii™ console, has sold more than 5 million units, according to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. With this milestone, the Wii system now has eight 5-million sellers* in the U.S., twice as many as competing current-generation consoles combined.
In the month of July, seven of the top 10 and 15 of the top 25 best-selling software SKUs play on Nintendo platforms. Just Dance 2 sold more than 120,000 units to finish No. 3 for the month.
