Extra Information:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...try_Dips_4_Percent_On_Slow_Hardware_Sales.php
The industry as a whole saw $1.07 billion in new hardware, software and accessory sales for the month, down from $1.11 billion in October 2009. For the year as a whole, the industry has generated $11.07 billion in new sales, roughly $900 million, or eight percent, behind the pace set by 2009.

Hardware

A severe 26 percent drop in year-over-year revenue from new hardware sales drove the overall decline in the October report. Sales of home and portable consoles brought in just $280 million in October2010, compared to $381 million for the same month last year.
While NPD no longer breaks down hardware sales for specific systems, the group did reveal that the Nintendo DS was the month's best selling system.

NPD confirmed that this number makes the Xbox 360 the best-selling home system so far in 2010, while the Nintendo DS remains the best-selling system for the year overall.

Software

Sales of new, boxed software were up six percent year-over-year in October, representing $605 million in revenue in 2010. The increase wasn't enough to help 2010 software sales on an annual basis, however, which currently sit at $5.54 billion and still trail those at the same point in 2009 by seven percent.

Sales of online-enabled games seem to be driving the industry for the month. "Interestingly, unit sales of online playable console games were up 16 percent while sales of those that are not online playable were down 2 percent versus last October," NPD analyst Anita Frazier noted.
Road said:
"For October, the 360 console was responsible for six of the top 10 console game titles, including the top four titles overall, "a feat never-before accomplished by a current-generation console," Microsoft boasted."

THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
Certainly wasn't expecting NBA to come out on top. 6 platforms though I guess.

Also Majornelson said 360 was at 325k. (edit: beaten..)
He also said it was the top selling console so far this year. Which means the Wii probably sold less (or 9k more at most).

Second highest single platform game..?
 
So I'm guessing this means the PS3 sold 800k and the Wii 23k. Animal Crossing Wii just outside the top 10.

My deduction skills are legendary.
 
NBA2k11? Jordan and canceled Live/Elite = complete market domination it seems. Wonder how Jam did in comparison.

360 sales seem decent, if they are number one again it may have been a rough month for Wii yoy.

Yup. Adding Michael Jackson was a fantastic idea...
 
So last month Nintendo and MS both publicly announced their NPD numbers but Sony did not is that right? I wonder if all three will say what they sold this month.
