Microsoft has responded to yesterday's NPD sales figures for the month of March:
The latest numbers have been released by NPD, and we’re happy to announce that Xbox 360 continues to lead Sony’s PS3 in next-generation gaming console sales with 199K units sold in the month of March.
Xbox 360 also maintained its record-setting software attach rate for the eighth month in a row at 5.7 games sold per console for the month of March, thanks to the great titles available for the platform, including four of which were among the top 10 best-selling games across all consoles, including “Def Jam Icon” (EA). “Guitar Hero II” (RedOctane/Activision), “Major League Baseball 2K7” (2K Sports) and ”Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2” (Ubisoft).
We’re also excited about the success of “Guitar Hero II” (RedOctane/Activision), which exploded on to the Xbox 360 platform in April selling 291,000 units after only five days on the market; that means nearly 2,500 units per hour were rolling off the store shelves. This made it the number three top-selling game in this period across all consoles. Games like “Guitar Hero II” that were once PlayStation exclusives are now enabling consumers to have more choices when it comes to platform selection, while also broadening our portfolio of games that appeal to customers of all ages.
