The latest NPD figures are in. Let's start us a pissing contest! In short, February was nuts. Loco. Seriously. Look at these numbers:
# Game sales and accessories were up 53%, hardware sales up a whopping 98%, giving the total industry a 66% boost. Raining on the parade ever-so-slightly is the fact this year's February figures are a week longer than last year's.
# Between the Wii, DS, GBA and GC Nintendo shifted 980,000 units. In February.
# Crackdown was by far the biggest-selling game, moving 427,000 copies. Next up was the Wii Play/Wii Remote bundle, which sold 371,000 copies.
# With only 127,000 sold, the PS3 was outsold by the Wii. And the 360. And the PS2. And the GBA. Ouch.
