Xbox 360 once again tops the charts in July

Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360 once again took the title for
top sales in July. The month was a horrible one for the industry, one
that NPD claims as the worst we've seen since 2006. According to data
from the NPD group, Microsoft managed to sell 277,000 Xbox 360s. Not a
huge number, but enough to take home 45% share of the domestic current
generation console market. Microsoft, who also reiterated its strength
in the United States told us that they've been selling "more units than
any other console for 13 of the past 14 months."

Year over year the console sales were lower for the company, but this
comes after a year when a newly redesigned Xbox 360 S was put to market.
Microsoft who touts Gears of War 3 as the entertainment launch of the
year, expects big things from September through the holiday season with
Gears leading the way, followed by Forza, and the near exclusive Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Microsoft expects that the Xbox 360 will maintain its lead on
competitors throughout the rest of the year to finish "as the number
one console worldwide".
