The NPD June figures are out, and my oh my, Xbox 360 is this month’s largest selling home console, and is in second place overall, the DS being in the first. The Xbox 360 has sold 451,700 units in June. As opposed to May’s 20% in hardware sales, the new Xbox 360 Slim model gave aboost to the market, and the overall hardware sales increased 5%. This being the Xbox 360’s second best holiday season month ever, the best being when Halo 3 was released, Microsft must be pretty happy with how things are turning out.

The new 360 was the reason for MS winning for the month.

One month blip or a pattern is still unknown.

Summer sales aren't that great regardless and the industry seems to be finally hit by the recession.
