January video game sales hit $1.18 billion
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. sales of video game hardware and
software were $1.18 billion in January, down 6 percent from a year
earlier, with Nintendo Co Ltd's (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) Wii
console once again outselling its rivals.
The decline in overall sales was partly due to January 2008 covering a 4-week period,
compared with a 5-week period for the same month a year ago.
During the month, Nintendo sold 274,000 Wiis, Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research)
sold 269,000 PlayStation 3 machines and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research)
sold 230,000 Xbox 360 consoles, NPD said.
The top-selling game for a single console was the Xbox 360 version of Activision Inc's
(ATVI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) military shooting title "Call of Duty 4", which sold nearly
331,000 copies, NPD said.
