\"NPD<\/p>\n

NPD<\/a> is a consumer market research group that supplies sales data for a number of areas, including the video game industry. This North American company founded in 1967 gives us a pretty accurate look, each month at overall hardware and software sales. Below is data for June, 2010.<\/p>\n
