US consumers spent over $1 billion on videogames in April, according to the latest estimate by the NPD Group.
It’s the first time NPD has taken the entire US games market – including digital-only formats like mobile and social – into consideration over a single month.
But when digital sales such as downloads, rentals, DLC, subscriptions, social network games, and mobile games are accounted for, the US total consumer spend on videogames surpassed $1 billion.
