NPD Group: March sales and figures
It was a good month for Nintendo, to say the least. Super Smash Bros. Brawl topped the sales charts in the US with 2.7 million units sold, almost quadrupling Rainbow Six Vegas in the number two spot. Wii Play and Guitar Hero III also landed on the list for Nintendo.
In addition to taking the top software honors, the hardware field also felt the weight of Nintendo. The Wii and DS came in at number one and two with 721,000 and 698,000 units sold, respectively. Don’t expect the trend to slow down any time soon either with the launches of Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit just around the corner.
