According to the NPD sales charts, the Xbox 360 led the pack with 130,000 consoles sold, holding 42% of current gen console sales in April.
The company raked up $208 million from hardware, software, and accessories. Regarding game sales, the numbers went down a bit, but according to NPD analyst Liam Callahan”April launches in 2013 fared much better than games launched in April 2012, up 118% in unit sales and 130% in dollar sales.”
The top selling game for the month belongs to NetherRealm Studios and their latest product, Injustice: Gods Among Us. Injustice marks the first time in a while that a fighting game held the top spot on a sales chart. The last, coincidentally, was Mortal Kombat.
