NDP, a research firm, has released this year’s sales numbers from the gaming industry and they are not pretty. Sales have dropped by 38 percent in the overall gaming market.

Microsoft said the reason behind the success of their prized console was the release of Kinect. People went crazy after the motion sensor for the 360 and it lead to an enormous increase in sales for the console itself.
Meanwhile, other consoles such as the PS3 and Wii are still falling behind. This report was shocking as PS3 saw more exclusive releases this year, Uncharted 3 being one of the major ones.
