in a shaky 2011 year, which saw the overall gaming industry sales drop 21%, Microsoft is celebrating. The Xbox 360 has been at the top of console sales for 12 months straight finishing 2011 as the best-selling current-generation console in the U.S. It has outsold the second-place console by more than 2.7 million units, according to The NPD Group.
The Xbox 360 became the fastest-growing console, capturing 49% of consumer retail spending. NPD reported that the Xbox 360 earned an industry-leading $6.7 billion in sales in the U.S. for the calendar year - more than $2.1 billion on consoles and $4.6 billion on games and accessories.
