May 2009 Video Game Sales Tumble 17%, Slump Continues (PC World)
PC World - PC games sales in the U.S. fell 40% to $29 million in May, reports analyst Michael Pachter in his May report following NPD's sales numbers, released last night. May spelled bad news for consoles, too, with software sales down 17% to $450 million. Put the two together (hardware, software, including PC sales) and you get a drop of 23%, year-over-year. Also: It's the third month of consecutive game industry sales declines.
