Video Game Sales Up 32% in March

Posted by Zonk on from the based-on-sales-of-what,-again? dept.

Reuters is reporting that video game sales were up 32% in March. The story attributes the increase in sales to improved console supplies, Gran Turismo 4, and some handheld Sony is hawking. From the article: "Citing figures from market researchers NPD Group, analysts also said Sony Corp.'s new PlayStation Portable handheld gaming unit sold 620,000 units of hardware in the month and 1.1 million pieces of software. The PSP was released on March 24."

    Too bad the games selection for the PSP blows. Though I'm sure it's just for the time being.
    The selection for DS-specific games still blows after all these months. *sigh* Still dragging to drag out Mario DS for as long as possible!
