Video Game Sales Fall for 6th Consecutive Month

As the holiday season approaches, things have yet to pick up for the video game industry as sales fell for the sixth month in a row in September.
Research group NPD reports that, in the month of September, sales of video game software, hardware and accessories fell 8 percent to $1.2 billion. Game hardware was hit the hardest, with sales falling 19 percent to $383 million. This month represents the first time that NPD has not publicly released sales for individual consoles (these numbers are still available for those willing to pay) but Microsoft was more than happy to reveal that the Xbox is still selling extremely well.
