Red Dead Redemption Kills the NPD Sales in May

With a bullet ,Rockstar’s wild-west action game is the first.
Red Dead Redemption was the highest-selling game title by a wide margin in May 2010, the NPD Group said on Thursday. The open-world game of cowboys and canyons sold over about 1.6 million copies across PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 and THQ’s UFC 2010 are other big winners for the month: Undisputed .But even with these heavy hitters, the game industry still took a hit in May — $823.5 million in overall sales represents a 6% decline. Certainly, all of those decline comes from plummeting sales of game hardware.
“The portable hardware category contributed the most to the decline in hardware sales in this month, and the NDS is the best-selling hardware system for May,” said NPD analyst Anita Frazier in an emailed statement.
Now June is past ,the sell situation should be have changed a little ,and let us hope that it have a good selling in July.
