March saw the release of a number of highly anticipated titles such as God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver. The sales of the new titles seem to have injected some life back into the videogame industry in the US, with the latest data from US tracking firm NPD Group showing that sales increased by 6% to $1.52 billion in March.
Software sales also recorded an increase, up 10% to $875.3 million, while accessories shot up 11% to $206.8 million. Hardware sales, however, continue to suffer, dropping 4% to $440.5 million.
According to NPD analyst Anita Frazier, “In terms of total revenue, March 2010 is the third best non-holiday month on record behind March 2008 and June 2008.”
