Mario Kart 8, Watch Dogs spark big US game sales in May - NPD
The new consoles also continued to show momentum as hardware sales jumped 95% over last May
Total industry sales were way up, climbing 52 percent to $586 million. This was driven not only by the continued adoption of Xbox One and PS4, as hardware skyrocketed 95 percent to $187 million, but also by a sizable 57 percent increase in console software sales to $274 million (PC software brings that total up to $284 million).
Collectively, May 2014 launches sold 800 percent more in dollar sales than May 2013 launches did their respective launch months
NPD ha rilevato che PS4 di Sony è stata la console più venduto per il quinto mese consecutivo, e mentre gran parte della crescita dell'hardware maggio 2014 era dovuto a Xbox Uno e PS4, c'era anche una crescita anno su anno per il Wii U, e PS Vita, l'analista di NPD Liam Callahan, ha poi evidenziato il successo per i bundle di Mario Kart 8 su Wii U e Borderlands 2 per PS Vita.
