NPD: Video game sales get a boost in February "The big surprise to me is that hardware ticked up," Pachter says. "Maybe the recession really is over. People don't buy software because there is money burning a hole in their pocket. But they actually would buy hardware. Most recent jobs data show a slight uptick in jobs. Maybe consumer confidence is coming back. ... It has to be either that there's a change in NPD methodology or it is a reasonable signal that consumer confidence is back."

NPD: Xbox kills it in February, "Black Ops" makes history A big seller last month was the 250 gigabyte Xbox system bundled a Kinect sensor (for $400), but Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii also saw sales grow during the month, NPD said. Altogether physical sales of video game products grew 4 percent during the month, to $1.33 billion. The console business was up 12 percent, while the portable game player business fell 27 percent (perhaps because buyers are waiting for the Nintendo 3DS). Hardware sales were up 10 percent, to $426.4 million, and accessories were up 22 percent to 210 million. Game sales - which doesn't include downloads - fell 8 percent.
