US Video Game Sales Plummet -- NCAA Strongest Game in July

The NPD monthly report is out and it's ugly for the video game industry. Game industry sales dropped by 26% in the month, which is a huge collapse, driven mostly by hardware's inability to keep selling with consumers -- perhaps that market is close to being tapped out eh? While the report has a lot of negatives, there are some bright spots for sports gaming.

Most notable is NCAA Football 12's spot at the top:

Quote:
"NPD tips its hat to digital sales, calling their growth "remarkable" and noting growth in this area "combined with a flat to modest decline in new physical sales should result in 2011 showing growth over 2010."

Top of the chart in software sales: NCAA Football 12 (Xbox 360, PS3)."
