Big surprise, everyone! The NPD Group has dropped July 2009 sales and Wii Sports Resort, the long awaited sequel to the pack-in game that ultimately sold everyone on the concept of the Wii, quickly moved more units than anybody else. The game dropped at the end of last month but Nintendo pushed 508,200 copies of Wii Sports Resort.
Here's the top ten for June 2009:
- Wii Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo of America, 508.2K
- 360 NCAA Football 10, Electronic Arts, 376.5K
- PS3 NCAA Football 10, Electronic Arts, 237.4K
- Wii Wii Fit w/ Balance Board, Nintendo of America, 164.3K
- Wii Mario Kart w/ Wheel, Nintendo of America, 156.6K
- DS Mario Kart DS, Nintendo of America, 132.2K
- DS Pokemon Platinum Version, Nintendo of America, 116.4K
- 360 Fight Night Round 4, Electronic Arts, 116.4K
- DS New Super Mario Bros., Nintendo of America, 101.8K
- Wii EA Sports Active Bundle, Electronic Arts, 96.8K
It was a Nintendo month. Between new releases like Wii Sports Resort, traditional Nintendo software mainstays like Wii Fit and evergreen Nintendo releases that just won't leave the software charts like Mario Kart DS, in a year where the industry is down across the board, Nintendo is clearly producing the kind of content people are looking for, even when they're spending less.
Everyone else in the industry, however, suffered.
"While year-to-date results are weak," said NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier alongside July 2009's data, "there are some big titles set to be released over the next several months, including Madden this month, which should help spur sales. The worst comps should be behind us, and looking beyond August we have The Beatles: Rock Band, Halo 3: ODST, and of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to look forward to."
September will be a telling month, with both The Beatles: Rock Band and Halo 3: ODST dropping. Any predictions from TheFeed readers?

I been buying more dl games for 20 bucks or less vs buying a game that cost me 60 bucks. I got fatprincess, wipout, streetfighter vs cappcom 2 ... and all that doesn't even total 60 bucks. 60 bucks is just way too high and I don't have that kind of money to blow all the time.

Like I said in another article wii sports is going to reach 10 million (it may take a few years though)

lowering the price of games WILL boost sales. do they really expect us to believe that even a 60 to 50 dollar change in price will destroy the industry? I mean is just ten dollars the key to all damnation of the gaming industry...probably not. but what do I know...typically nothing, i specialize in opinions and speculation. Plus there was nothing really worth playing these past few months, let alone buying. Problem solved...spread out the gaming love through the well known drought called summer and you'll have better news to report on profits or what-not. this post just got "F"ed in the "A"!!!! YEAH!!

lower the price of games, that should boost sales.

Just wait until the good games come out(MAG,Uncharted 2,Modern warfare 2) then we will see the sales go waaaay up

WERE THE Flunk is guitar hero 5, it's way better than RB: BT. As for call of duty i don't think it's going to sell that much beacuse of the price going up and some people hating activision.
