Home Run For Video Games (SNE)(MSFT)

Video games had a great Febuary.

MarketWatch writes "Sales of game software in North America reached nearly $669 million for the month, up 47% from the same period last year, according to data released by the NPD Group."

The Nintendo Wii stayed out in front with 423,000 units sold. That was followed by the Sony (NYSE: SE) Playstation 3 with 280,000 and the Microsoft (NASDAQ MSFT) Xbox 360 at 254,600. Microsoft said it is low on units to sell.
