A weak US economy and historically slow summer sales conspired to push North American hardware sales down. Down but not out: Nintendo led the way with robust DS and Wii hardware sales, while the Xbox 360 stayed resilient.

North American hardware sales: June 2009 (NPD Group)

* 1. NDS: 766,500

* 2. Wii: 361,700

* 4. PS3: 164,700

* 5. PSP: 163,500

Software sales were led by the Xbox 360 version of Radical's open-world game Prototype. EA Sports also enjoyed a strong month led by its Wii Fit competitor EA Sports Active, a strong opening showing for Tiger Woods 10 for the Wii, and a nearly 50/50 sales split between Fight Night Round 4 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

With Nintendo making a strong showing, Cammie Dunaway, NOA's EVP of sales and marketing, offered the following quote:

"More consumers continued to gravitate toward products that offer quality experiences and great value for the whole family....Consumers again selected Nintendo systems for those experiences, particularly our hand-helds."
