And The Best Selling Console In The US For March Is…..Xbox 360

Posted by: Ernice Gilbert April 15, 2011 in Hot, Microsoft, News 9 Comments

In the U.S., Xbox 360 is king of the ring, there’s no denying it. Ever since Kinect launched back in November, the console’s being outselling the competition by wide margins and the month of March was no different according to NPD numbers.

Microsoft said it sold 433,000 Xbox 360 units, which made the platform the number one selling console in March (although, according to NPD, DS was the number one platform overall).

According to MS, Xbox 360 represented “the largest growth of any current generation console on the market.” Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 arrived at $457 million for the month of March, which is also the highest among current generation consoles.

Added MS: “Microsoft expects this momentum to continue throughout 2011. In the coming months, Xbox 360 owners can look forward to the arrival of Kinect-enabled Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as a diverse catalog of new games.”

Thanks, Industry Gamers.
