Xbox 360 has once again proven itself to be the best selling console in the States.

 

 

Microsoft's epic console has once again stayed on top of the table with it's 27 month consecutive being the most bought system in the United States, according to new date from NPD Group. The Xbox 360 console has sold 261'000 units in the United States in March, beating Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's new Wii U handheld device.

In the large picture, physical sales decreased by 10% year over year from $1.1Billion in March 2012 to $992.5 Million in March 2013. Software sales remained basically flat at around $554.8 Million, only inching down by 1% from one year ago. The steepest decline came from Hardware sales, dropping down by 32% to $221.6 Million.

Against popular beliefs, the Nintendo 3DS has grown by roughly 9% during the decline of portable console sales.

How are people still buying so many a month though is what I always think of.

Yay for 3DS!

 

And my best guess is besides the fact the systems always break, and constantly having to get new ones, is allot of people now is probably buying up the 360's in case the next gen console becomes a flop or something.
