U.S. video game sales seen up 53 percent in June
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. sales of video game hardware and software rose 53 percent in June from a year ago, with Konami Corp's "Metal Gear Solid 4" helping to fuel a dramatic increase in the number of Sony Corp's PlayStation 3 units sold, market researcher NPD reported on Thursday.
"Metal Gear Solid 4" claimed the top slot as June's best-selling game, overtaking the two month reign Take-Two Interactive Software Inc's "Grand Theft Auto 4" enjoyed since its launch in April. The Konami game is made exclusively for the PS3.
