Wii - 172K (-38%)


Overall

"New physical retail sales of hardware, software and accessories showed notable growth in April versus last year. A 17% increase in unit sales translated into over 20% dollar growth due to higher average retail prices.

“Sales occurring in April resulted in 2% year-to-date dollar growth for new physical sales, reversing the negative trend up until March. All three categories experienced double-digit dollar growth compared to April 2010.

"Easter purchasing occurred in April this year as opposed to March last year. The Easter timing shift could explain about $60 million of the growth, but even accounting for that shift, sales of new physical product realized a notable increase versus last year."


Hardware

"Hardware sales realized the least growth at the category level. Unit sales were up 3%, with the greater dollar sales growth being driven by an increase in average retail price."

"The PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 platforms saw an increase in unit sales versus April 2010. The Xbox 360 platform was the best selling of the month in terms of unit sales, followed by the Nintendo DS."

"April marks the third consecutive month of year-over-year increase in dollar sales for the hardware category."


Software

"April 2011 represents the first month that new physical retail sales of content showed growth in both units and dollars since November of last year."

"The Xbox 360 platform generated the greatest unit sales of new physical content at over 3.5 million units for the month, followed by the Nintendo DS platform. The Nintendo DS, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 platforms all generated greater unit sales of content versus April 2010."

"The best-selling game of the month is Mortal Kombat 2011, which sold just under 900K units in its first month at retail."

"Portal 2 was the second best selling game in April. According to our PC digital download report, the original Portal was the fifth most downloaded game in 2010, and was available for free when Steam launched on Mac. Portal's performance on the PC, coupled with the success of the Orange Box on consoles undoubtedly helped prime the fan base for Portal 2."

"The content slate was stronger this year versus last April. Five games sold more than 250K units in April 2011 as opposed to just two last April."

"Games that would appear in the top ten ranking on a SKU basis for April include "NDS POKEMON BLACK VERSION," and "PS3 SOCOM 4: U.S. NAVY SEALS." If sales of the SOCOM Move accessory bundle were combined with software sales, this game would have ranked in the top ten titles as well."

微软和索尼的回应：

Xbox 360 continues to carry the momentum in U.S. sales as NPD's data now shows that Microsoft's console was once again the top selling console for the month of April, with a total of 297,000 units sold - representing growth of 60% year-over-year. Microsoft pointed out that it's also "been the top selling console in the United States for 10 out of the last 11 months and is the best selling console in 2011."

The Kinect camera also continues to do well for Microsoft. The company said that "consumer demand for Kinect and Kinect games continue to spur console momentum." Kinect Sports sales have now surpassed 3 million units worldwide and Harmonix's Kinect-exclusive Dance Central sales has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide.

All told, Microsoft said it expects the size of the Kinect games portfolio will triple by the end of the year. It's pretty clear that Kinect and new Kinect games will be a major focus at E3 for Microsoft.

索尼：

PS3 has been seeing "double digit growth," Sony says. Patrick Seybold, spokesman for SCEA, issued the following statement in reaction to today's NPD data report.

"NPD reported that the PlayStation 3 continues to see double-digit hardware growth. PS3 hardware sales are up nearly 13% and our PS3 software sales showed a 40% increase year-over-year. We continue to see a lot of great momentum at the retail level, and appreciate the support we've received from our partners, retailers and customers since the criminal attack on the PlayStation Network. We hope to have services restored as soon as we can."

终于卖第一了，理直气壮啊！

3DS首发游戏太悲催，这世界上真的没有靠名声就能卖的产品，老任实在托大了。

比较惊奇的是经过上时代3个不怎么样的作品，MK竟然远远超过本时代所有其他格斗游戏的首月，难道日厂连这个类型也要被日？

mk今天的官方销量消息

http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/

Mortal Kombat 2011 Sells over a Million copies in the USA!
05/12/2011 07:39 PM :: Posted at 07:39 PM EST by Tyrant-Cenobite
Today, the official sales data for Mortal Kombat has been released courtesy of online gaming website, Giant Bomb.

Mortal Kombat has dominated all new releases and other games already available on the market by accumulating over 900,000 sold copies of the game, thwarting competition from Portal 2 and Lego Star Wars III: Clone Wars.

Ed Boon, the co-creator of Mortal Kombat posted on his official Twitter account (@Noobde) shortly afterwards explaining that the game had actually sold over one million copies as the data did not include the sales figures from the Kollector's and Tournament Editions that were released alongside the standard version of the game. Sales information was compiled by research company, the NPD Group. Expect a consolidated sales amount here once the information becomes available!

This is definitely fantastic news for Warner Bros and Netherrealm Studios as this already indicates Mortal Kombat is a commercial success given it's not even been a month since the game launched! Congratulations.

还是只在爸爸国，比较尼玛牛逼...

美畜口味太重了，原来2D版终结技，
因为是平面的，真实感不够，
现在直接真实重口。
看了之后好恶心的。

Wii一下子就滞销了？

LZ的头像真挺帅的，要不是我的头像更好看，我肯定换用你的头像了~~

PS3海啸了，PSN挂了还这么多人买。

连NDS也归零了？
