NPD: Game sales slide 10 percent in May
An artist's interpretation of what happened to Xbox 360 game sales in May.Currently, the conventional wisdom is that 2006 will see sales of current-generation games fall as games for next-generation consoles rise. So why, then, did sales of That's one of the questions raised by the latest reportXbox 360 games plummet from $75 million in April to $47 million in May? from industry-research group NPD Funworld, which was released today.
The 360's 180 was one of the main reasons US game sales for May 2006 were only $286 million, 10 percent below May 2005. NPD figures also fingered weaker-than-expected sales of titles for the PSP, which has seen its momentum slow in recent months. The report also said that sales of DS titles were weaker than expected, even though the number one game for the month was New Super Mario Bros., which generated nearly $9.5 million in sales all by itself.
Overall, what NPD terms "current-generation" software--Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Game Boy Advance games--slid $96 million to just $188 million for the month, versus May 2005. "Next-generation" software--Xbox 360, DS, and PSP games--hauled in a combined $98 million, far below Wedbush Morgan Securties' analyst Michael Pachter's estimates.
And, according to Pachter, May may only be the beginning. "We think that this trend foreshadows continuing weak sales until the holidays, as we expect continued monthly year-over-year declines of 30-40 percent for current-generation software sales, with next-generation software sales growth failing to offset these declines," he wrote in a report issued today.
As for May's best-selling console games, after New Super Mario Bros. was last month's number one game, Kingdom Hearts II for the PS2. Then it was back down to DS town with Brain Age: Train Your Brain In Minutes a Day. The newly $19.95 God of War was behind it at number four, followed by the two top dogs on the Xbox 360: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Though Major League Baseball 2K6 was relegated to 19th (PS2) and 20th (Xbox) places, Sony's MLB '06: The Show was still swinging for the fences at number seven.
The eighth-best-selling console game of May will likely surprise many. Riding a wave of positive buzz, Red Octane's Guitar Hero bundle has been selling well, and has led to a new social phenomenon--Guitar Hero parties. In ninth place on the list was another favorite--Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which joined the $19.99 line of "Greatest Hits" games for the PS2 earlier this year. In 10th was another surprise--the original Kingdom Hearts for the PS2, which was released back in 2002.
