Video game sales rose 25 percent in June

By

Nintendo of America’s “New Super Mario Bros” grabbed the No. 1 spot on the U.S. video game sales chart in June for the second month in a row with 453,000 units sold, according to market research firm NPD Group. The title, for the Nintendo DS portable player, is the latest version of the iconic game starring Italian plumber Mario and his brother Luigi. I don’t care what title is number one as long as the game sales are going back up!

Video game sales rose 25 percent in June to $844.5 million, according to NPD, which measures nearly two-thirds of video game retail sales in the United States and makes projections on the remainder of the market.
