Anita Frazier of the NPD Group talked about the video game industry for the month of June:
The video games industry realized a significant decline when compared to June 2008, the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year declines. The first half of the year has been tough largely due to comparisons against a stellar first half performance last year, but still, this level of decline is certainly going to cause some pain and reflection in the industry.
Because the question invariably arises, this month saw the greatest year-over-year monthly decline since September 2000 when the industry declined 41% .
Even with the industry down 12% year-to-date, with a strong back-half performance, full year sales could still be flat to slightly up to 2008′s record-breaking performance. Of course, that could be put further at risk if more highly anticipated titles move out of 2009 into 2010 or later.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 had a great debut at retail, nearly doubling the units sold in the first month at market of the previous best-two launches: PGA Tour ’05 and ’07, which sold 272K units each in their respective launch months . No doubt a combination of moving the release date of the game out of “Madden Month” into June where golf was heavily televised due to the U.S. Open as well as well-received new game features and attributes helped contribute to this success.
Prototype was the top selling title for the month, realizing roughly 600K units at retail across the two platforms. While this is solid performance for new IP, it’s a relatively modest sales figure for any game capturing the top spot for the month.
Of the various accessory types, Video Game Point and Subscription cards realized an increase of 67% in dollar sales in June ’09 as compared to last year.

@ Voyou San
im with you.
Look at it this way Prototype 600k. 600k-420k=180k. 180k+inFamous192k=372k
50k units for a console that has double the install base is not that amazing IMO.
Just goes to show that PS3 owners have a bigger choice of games.
