Another world shattering NPD sales data report. It's becoming so commonplace it's easy to forget how historic these numbers are. Coverage: Feb 3 - March 1

The hardware is stellar as well. Units were up 19% to over 2.1M systems combined (and that's compared to last year which was up 60% over the prior year). The "less technically advanced" systems were phenomenal. DS, PS2, & Wii all showed remarkable level of sales. 360 & PS3 sold quite well and their sales are quite respectable, but compared to the other systems don't seem to impress quite as much.
