Today, the NPD Group released its January sales figures, and the beginning of 2012 was not good at all. Total consumer spending on video games fell 34 percent to $750.6 million in the US. Video game hardware sales totaled only $324 million, down 38% year over year. That's the worst it's been since January 2004.
"One factor for the double digit declines in new physical software was the lack of new launches, according to NPD analyst Anita Frazier. "New launches in January 2011 represented 13 percent of dollar sales and new launch performance dropped 99 percent in Jan 2012. Games like Dead Space 2, Little Big Planet 2, and DC Universe Online ranked within the top ten last year."













Honestly the reason the X-Box 360 sales better because of the free repair warranty,but it sucks that you have to pay for online gaming and there are more people in America. The Play Station 3 is free to play online ,the down side is that you have to pay for the dreaded yellow ring of death and the Play Station last 2 years too,I know this because I am on my third Play Station 3,but yeah if Sony starts making more exclusive game titles for the console,Sony may get more sales.Total PS3 software...
