Nintendo Co. ‘s Wii edged out Microsoft Corp.’ s Xbox 360 as the best-selling video-game console in the U.S. after Microsoft did not meet the demand for its motion-sensing Kinect around, the company said.

Nintendo sold more than 2.3 million Wii consoles in December, Kyoto, Japan-based company said in a statement, citing figures from researcher NPD Group Inc. The company said it sold more than 2.5 million Nintendo DS handheld systems.

Total industry sales for the month fell 9 percent to 0.06 billion from 0.55 billion a year earlier, when the Nintendo and Sony Corp. cut the price of their video-game consoles, Port Washington, New York-based NPD said in a statement.

Microsoft sold 1.9 million consoles in December, the biggest one-month total for the Xbox 360, David Dennis, group product manager at Xbox, said today, citing NPD. The numbers track sales in the five-week period starting November 28.

“We would have sold we will never run out of supply at the end of December,” Dennis said in an interview. “We air-freighted stuff in December, but you can only sell as many as you can do.”

Retailers will continue to look at the “expense of the supply constraints” by early February, he said.

Industry software sales fell 8 percent to 0.37 billion, while sales of accessories including Kinect Move controller and Sony’s motion-jumped 10 percent to 3.2 million, NPD said.

Online Sales

Among the sold or rented games digitally and online, video-game sales for the year remain unchanged to down 1 percent to 0.4 billion to 0.6 billion, NPD estimated.

“The increasing number of ways to get content allows the industry to maintain the total consumer spending on content as compared to 2009,” Anita Frazier, an NPD analyst, said in statement.

Xbox 360, released in November 2005, is benefiting from a console redesign in June, followed by the introduction of Kinect November 4 add-ons. Shoppers spent 0.2 billion on Xbox hardware and software last year, more than any other console, the company said, citing NPD numbers.

Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, has sent more than eight million sensors for its Xbox Kinect device, topping forecasts of the company, and now has 30 million users for the relevant the Xbox Live online service.

NPD stopped reporting unit sales of consoles in September. The industry tracker now release monthly income for the video game software, hardware, and peripherals. Console makers are free to report their own product sales. http://www.wholesaleeshop.com. au/laptop-battery/hp-pavilion-dv6.htm
