April 2007 NeoGAF Sales Results
Good month overall, sales were up 16% from last month which ends the declining sales trend that has happened since December. Whether that's due new Wii users, participation rate, or the new games available, is anyone's guess, could be a combination of the three. I'd say compared to March though, there were a lot more hot titles that came out in April.
+ Fun Fact: March's Top Seller was Gunstar Heroes, the first time a game had placed at the top slot twice (that might say something about March's VC releases). Gunstar had sold 28 units in March, and scored a comparatively similar 21 units for the month of April. However, this month it drops to 6th place.
Anyay, some cool games came out with some impressive sales. I still don't have photoshop installed in my new comp, so here's the sales data in text form instead of a pretty graph:

Hopefully I'll be able to find time later to make a breakdown of individual systems like I had in the past, and raises/losses in chart positions, but stuff on my end is pretty crazy ATM. For now I'll just do NES:
Rank / Last Month's Rank (Raise/Loss of Position)/ Title / Life-To-Date
1. (NEW) Punch-Out / 49
2. (2) Super Mario Bros. / 242
3. (3) Kirby's Adventure / 80
