Video-Game Sales Soar Despite Weak Economy
8/15/08

NEW YORK Even in a seasonally slow month and with the economy in the doldrums, U.S. sales of video game hardware and software soared 28 percent in July, hitting $1.19 billion.

According to data from market researcher NPD Group, Americans bought $446.9 million worth of video game hardware during the month, a 17 percent jump from the same month a year ago.
The portable Nintendo DS was the top-selling gaming system with 608,400 units, followed by the Wii at 555,000.
The pricier, fancier consoles, the PlayStation 3 from Sony Corp. and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp., came in a distant third and fourth. The classic PlayStation 2, nearly eight years after its release, still managed to sell 155,500 units.
