Here are the hardware sales for the reporting period of June, which was actually a five-week month for NPD's purposes:
Nintendo DS - 561,000
Wii - 381,800
PlayStation 2 - 270,000*
PlayStation Portable - 230,100
Xbox 360 - 198,400
Game Boy Advance - 113,000*
PlayStation 3 - 98,500
*PS2 and GBA figures were not included in the official NPD release. However, IGN is reporting these figures for those systems, so we have included them here for ease of comparison.
The software top ten looks awfully similar to the hardware ranking.
Mario Party 8 (Wii) - 426,000
Wii Play (Wii) - 291,200
Pokémon Diamond (DS) - 288,400
Pokémon Pearl (DS) - 214,700
Forza Motorsport 2 (360) - 197,400
Guitar Hero 2 w/Guitar (PS2) - 197,350
Guitar Hero 2 w/Guitar (360) - 177,600
Pokémon Battle Revolution (Wii) - 157,900
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii) - 150,000 (approx.)
The Darkness (360) - N/A
Overall, the video game industry is up 43% in total sales over the same month as last year, raking in $1.1 billion in sales this past June. No doubt this is in part to the doubling of hardware sales from June 2006.
UPDATE: Here is Nintendo's official word on the June sales figures, in a handy list of ten items:
10 FAST FACTS FROM NINTENDO - FIRST HALF 2007
- Through the first half of 2007, the total Wii™ hardware sell-through in the United States and Canada combined is more than 2.3 million units (2.1 million United States, 222,000 Canada).
- For the first half of 2007, Nintendo represents nearly 70 percent of the industry growth in the United States and Canada combined.
- In June alone, Wii was once again the top-selling home console with nearly 435,000 units sold in the United States and Canada combined (381,800 United States, 53,000 Canada).
- In June alone, Nintendo DS™ was the top-selling video game system overall with nearly 608,000 units sold in the United States and Canada combined (562,000 United States, 46,000 Canada).
- Nintendo remained the top video game publisher in the United States and Canada in June, as well as the top publisher for all of 2007.
- In June alone, Nintendo has six of the top 10 best-selling games in the United States, including the top four: Mario Party® 8 and Wii Play™ for Wii, and Pokémon® Diamond and Pokémon® Pearl for Nintendo DS.

Combined with the DS's sales, people are 6.84 times more capable of playing Urban Yeti than Resistance: Fall Of Man!

Still... Nintendo platforms are starting to dominate the extended charts... NoA needs to try to keep things rolling, and get things closer and closer to japan style domination!
Oh, but it's just amazing to see the sort of legs that Guitar Hero has. on TWO DIFFERENT CONSOLES and at 80 DOLLARS!!! ... Amazing... I can't wait till that arrives on the Wii!
Oh, and excellent numbers for RE4 Wii. I can't believe it's sold so well for the third port of a game... third parties take note! Traditional, epic, MATURE games sell on the Wii! I have to get myself a copy still!

Edit: Also, those PSP numbers were a typo. It's 290k, not 230k.

It wouldn't surprise me, most systems don't have that many games out in such a limited time frame.

No one, haven't you heard that Wii 3rd party support is worse than GameCube?

I can't think of anyone off hand. Does there really need to be for the statement to be amusing in its exclusiveness?

Wow, that explains why their games are so Rare.

Better watch out Nintendo! All those 80 year old grannies you won over are flocking en masse to experience a much more sophisticated level of non-gaming.

See there is a difference between "non-gaming" and "no games" =)
By the time Sony's PsP2 and PS4 come out the system will just be a shell and have no games. And it will retail for 800 dollars. =D
