NPD: US game market climbs 6%

Friday 16-Apr-2010 2:13 AM March 2010 the third best non-holiday month on record
US game industry sales climbed six per cent in March 2009, up from $1.44 billion a year earlier to $1.52 billion.

The result marked the third best non-holiday month on record, according to the NPD Group.

Despite the strong month, year-to-date industry sales are down seven per cent on the first three months of 2009.

"Excluding Sept '09, which was up close to one per cent, March 2010 represents the first overall revenue increase for the industry outside of the holiday timeframe since Feb 2009," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier.
