The
Xbox 360 continues to be a bright spot in a sluggish gaming market.
Grabbing more than 42 percent of all console sales, the popular
platform scored 426,000 in unit sales last month, according to
Microsoft.
Xbox aficionados shelled out a total of $383 million in February on
hardware, software, and accessories–the most amount spent for any
gaming console.
For the month, 5 of the top 10 games in the U.S. were aimed at the
Xbox, including Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare 3, UFC Undisputed, NBA 2K12, and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Nintendo saw 625,000 in total hardware unit sales in February, with 228,000 for the
Wii, 262,000 for the 3DS, and 135,000 for the DS. The company recently revealed that it’s sold 4.5 million 3DS units in the U.S. since the portable console debuted a year ago, bringing in more than $1.2 billion in sales.
