Sales of GTA IV don’t boost console sales
NPD Group announced on Thursday that the incredible sales of Grand Theft Auto IV did not translate to increased sales of next generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. While 871,000 copies of GTA IV were sold for the Xbox 360 during the month of May, only 187,000 Xbox 360 consoles were sold during the same period. Meanwhile, 443,000 copies of GTA IV were sold for the PS3 with Sony selling 209,000 PS3 consoles during the month of May.
Now compare this to the Nintendo Wii which sold 675,000 consoles during the same time period - that’s more than the two other platforms combined. This is pretty incredible when you consider that GTA IV isn’t available yet for the Wii.
Yes.. the Wii continues to rock.
