"Each month seems to get better and better for the industry and this month appears to be no different. According to CNET, Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) released figures covering sales for the industry during June. Overall, the month saw an increase in sales by 53 percent coming on the heels of the May price cuts. Hardware sales were brisk during the month as well with PlayStation 2 pushing 694,000 units during the month (increase from 524,000 in May). Xbox, GameCube and Game Boy Advance also saw increases with increase from 229,000 in May to sales of 265,000 in June for Xbox; an increase from 111,000 in May to 213,000 units in June for GameCube; and an increase from 310,000 units in May to 553,000 units in June for Game Boy Advance.
The notes continued by commenting that videogame sales increased by 52 percent with Electronic Arts’ Medal of Honor: Frontline taking the top spot in June with 651,000 units sold for PlayStation 2. Electronics Arts good fortune didn’t end at Medal of Honor as the report added that EA’s overall sales increased by 40 percent over this time last year, with sales of non-PC related software up by 62 percent. Medal of Honor was closely followed by Grand Theft Auto 3 from Take-Two Interactive.
Activision, Take-Two and Midway also did well during June as the report revealed that sales from Activision were up 92 percent, Midway was up 15 percent, and Take-Two Interactive had an increase of 261 percent. As expected, Activision’s tops seller for the month was once again Spiderman: The Movie with 1.3 million units sold across the five platforms its on. Midway’s top seller was Gauntlet for GameCube with 42,000 units sold. To read all of the notes check out CNET’s article here or in the link above. "
