Analysis from NPD's Anita Frazier:

In order for the industry to come in flat or slightly up for the total
year, the back five months of the year have to come in 11% (or more)
higher than the last five months of last year.
While year-to-date results are weak, there are some big titles set to
be released over the next several months, including Madden this month,
which should help spur sales. The worst comps should be behind us, and
looking beyond August we have The Beatles: Rock Band, Halo 3: ODST, and
of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to look forward to.
Hardware sales have slowed considerably on nearly every platform. The
Xbox 360 is the only console system showing a unit sales increase
year-to-date, while the NDS has the highest sales of all hardware
platforms both for the month, and year-to-date.
NCAA Football 10 was the top selling game for the month, with combined sales of 689K units across all platforms.
Wii Sports Resort was the top-selling software SKU for the month with
508K units sold with a 2.5% attach rate to the hardware install base.
Of all genres, the music/dance genre has suffered the greatest declines
this year, with nearly $390 million less revenues than the same time
period last year.
