July NPD numbers are in: Find out which console did best

The July NPD numbers are finally in, and it looks like it was a good month for everybody with industry sales totaling $925.5 million, up 37% year-over-year.

Turns out Pachter was wrong when he predicted that the PS3 would outsell the Xbox 360 for July. GameDailybiz reports the following numbers:

Wii: 425,000

DS: 405,000

PS2: 222,000

PSP: 214,000

X360: 170,000

PS3: 159,000

GBA: 87,000

That brings up an important question: Who the hell is buying the Game Boy Advance? That thing is long dead with, and even Nintendo has declared the "Game Boy" brand dead.

Software sales grew 11% to $419.2 million, with NCAA Football 08 declaring itself king of the hill:

NCAA Football 08—360—EA—397K

Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80s—PS2—Activision—339K

Wii Play w/remote—Wii—Nintendo—278K

NCAA Football 08—PS2—EA—236K

Mario Party 8—Wii—Nintendo—177K
