According to leading marketing information provider, The NPD Group, retail sales of U.S. video games, which includes portable and console hardware, software and accessories, remained largely unchanged over the previous year’s record-breaking performance. The console industry saw sales figures fall 2.7 percent to $10 billion in 2003 compared to $10.3 billion in 2002.
The PC game software industry showed signs of slowing down, with revenues from retail sales down 14 percent, topping $1.2 billion in sales in 2003 versus $1.4 billion in 2002. The total console, portable and PC game industry was $11.2 billion, just 4 percent off the record $11.7 billion in 2002.
Since most of the major PC titles moved to 2004, we could see some increase in PC game sales for 2004. |

| | C&C Generals sold more than WarCraft 3? I'm shocked, but I'm glad because Generals is a really fun RTS. Here's hoping another Generals sequel. |
| | | | C&C Generals sold more than the WC3 Expansion Pack (The Frozen Throne). Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was a 2002 game. |
| | | | I'm unsuprised by that list. Sad to see so many Sims games there though :( |
| | | Those figures are pretty cool.
Correct me if im wrong but does that mean that the combined sales of every console including handhelds with both hardware and software topped out at $10 billion, while pc games sales alone came in at $1.2 billion?
That seems to me like an extremely good showing from the pc. |
