NPD numbers for March: Nintendo on top!

Posted on Friday, 18 April 2008 by Speed, source: Kotaku
The NPD Group has released the North American sales figures for March and Nintendo has again blown away the competition.

Here's the hardware sales:

1. Wii - 721,000
2. Nintendo DS - 698,000
3. PSP - 297,000
4. Xbox 360 - 262,000
5. PlayStation 3 - 257,000
6. PlayStation 2 - 216,000
And if you think Nintendo can be happy with selling more than double the amount of Wii and DS consoles than the first competitor (the PSP), then just look at the software sales:

1. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo, Wii) - 2,700,000
2. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (Ubisoft, X360) - 752,300
3. Army of Two (Electronic Arts, X360) - 606,100
4. Wii Play (Nintendo, Wii) - 409,800
5. God of War: Chains of Olympus (Ready at Dawn, SCEA, PSP) - 340,500
6. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (Square-Enix, PSP) 301,600
7. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Vicarious Visions, Activision, Wii) - 264,100
8. MLB 2K8 (Kush Games, 2K Sports, X360) - 237,100
9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Infinity Ward, Activision, X360) - 237,000
10. Army of Two (Electronic Arts, PS3) - 224,900

Super Smash Bros. Brawl just blows away all the competition!

Meanwhile, the Big Three have already commented on the figures and we just couldn't leave that out. First let's start with the big winner:

Nintendo:

"Nintendo systems represented 58 percent of all video game hardware sold in March in the United States," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We expect our momentum to continue with big upcoming game launches like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit."
Sony: (Jack Tretton)

"Our sales momentum continues to defy what is traditionally a sluggish sales month. PS3 continued the strong momentum with a year-over-year sales growth of over 98%. It is proof that, in these economically challenging times, consumers recognize the long-term value of our platforms and the tremendous heritage of our brand in delivering the best entertainment experience. PSP expanded the portable market with more than 297,011 in hardware sales this month, driven by the monster releases of the two best-selling handheld games in March, God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. This further proves the trend that 2008 is the year for PlayStation."
And last but certainly not least, Microsoft:

Consumers continue to make the ultimate vote for Xbox 360 as the console of choice by investing $9.4 billion to date this lifecycle in the Xbox 360 experience, far outpacing that of other game consoles. (March NPD data)
Going into March, some key U.S. retailers were still experiencing the trickle down effect of Xbox 360 console shortages. By the end of March, supply issues had improved and we expect retailers to be fully stocked with Xbox 360 consoles in time for the "Grand Theft Auto IV" launch. According to NPD, 262,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold in March, reclaiming the #2 position in the next-gen console category
Microsoft also continued their usual chit-chat about stock issues, attach rates, Xbox Live and revenue up to now.
