Everyone loves numbers when they are good, right? Looks like we have some nice NPD (May, 2008) numbers to share with you. Here are a couple of stats to whet your palate:
“Grand Theft Auto IV” continues blistering pace on Xbox 360 platform, beating the other platform version by 2:1
• With 871,000 total unit sales in May, “Grand Theft Auto IV” on Xbox 360 outsold the other platform’s version 2:1. (May NPD data)
Xbox 360 games outsell, outplay the competition
• Xbox 360 games rank higher than the competition with 12 games with a Metacritic score of 90 or higher, more than PS3 and Wii combined.
Among 10-26 year olds, Xbox 360 gets more playing time than the Wii and PS3
• As reported in Nielsen’s Consumer Insight newsletter, a summary of Nielsen Games GamePlay Metrics service (which electronically tracks console usage) from April 2007 to February 2008 shows that among 10-26 year olds, Xbox 360 gets on average over twice the game play as the Wii with younger gamers, likely due to a record software attach and a blockbuster games library. The Xbox 360 gets roughly 75 hours of use per month. Wii users spent just 35 hours per month gaming during the same time period.
