I'm guessing with Animal Crossing, the 3DS will top again in June.
Why wouldn't it?
Has a fighting game ever been #1 two months straight on the NPD?
Yeah, I expect TLOU and Animal Crossing to just totally dominate the month of June.
Wonder how much Donkey Kong Country's $35 price tag helped sales. Hopefully enough for NOA to take notice and make that the default 1st-party price going forward. Would just be a $5 increase over the DS default price, then, instead of the $10 increase it had been.
3DS > 360
So
Nintendo > all ?
The Wii U version got outsold by every other one except the Vita and PC versions, so no, that's definitely not the reason for it.Wow on the 3DS software sales. Also, the big push back up on Lego Batman 2 was likely because it hit the Wii U in May.
I don't even want to glance at Vita and Wii U. Must be like stabbing oneself in the eye
Yeah its the first time since the 3DS launched its been number one. Kind of a hollow victory at this point, but it should be on top the rest of the year with Pokemon.
I'm glad RE bombed. Releasing a marginally improved game and charging $50 for it is lunacy.
Lego Batman 2 just came out for Wii U, but it still sold more on almost every other platform this month than Wii U?

Lower price (34.99 instead of 39.99) is probably helping. And it'll help Animal Crossing a lot.
Even with new consoles releasing?
Oh God. It's like, I want to know, but I don't want to know.![]()
.Could be, but 360 has that redesign released this month, too, and 360 seems to do well in June normally, IIRC
It begins.

If this persists the big boys are gonna be in trouble this fall. Especially when one of the consoles is gonna go for $500.00.
I think the most interesting thing to see will be Animal Crossing's impact on 3ds sales. I don't expect it to be that great personally, which is a shame but we shall see.
This month, not much to see apart from 3ds finally being number 1 I guess and the decent but not amazing sales of DKCR3D.
I think, perhaps, the masses are more aware than we give them credit for.Oh wow RE:R didn't chart. Is the RE series seeing franchise fatigue?
NPD analyst Liam Callahan reports that “Nintendo’s 3DS edged out the 360 as the top selling platform across hardware and portables. However, the 360 was the top selling console hardware platform this month for the twenty-ninth consecutive month. The 3DS had the best year-over-year trending for hardware units, with units sales essentially flat from last May.”
3DS increased 4x last week, compared to the week before, thanks to The Villager.

This generation went too long. Stupid Microsoft and Sony.
I need to ask myself if the monthly NPD figures paint a truthful picture of the video game industry -- does conveying monthly NPD releases to our readers help in their day-to-day decisions? I have to say "no." I've seen on Twitter and in Gamasutra comments that a lot of our readers also answer "no." Even the president of the Entertainment Software Association, Michael Gallagher, agrees that the monthly NPD U.S. retail figures hold little value these days.
Last year we had 113.5K: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4784913DS "edged out 360" this month in sales; its numbers are similar to May 2012 sales.

Could be the case that the SKUs listed for games are ordered by the total sales of the respective game on that platform and not just the current month?
Only 4-5 more months until Sony can un-tuck it's tail and start posting it's numbers again.
How did FUSE do?
Well if we want to be like that, it's contrary to the multiplayer population too.Halo 4 seems to still be selling well going by the PR. That is contrary to people complaining in every Halo thread.
