U.S Video Game Sales Rise

It was reported in the New York Times today that, "Americans bought $384.6 million in video game hardware, up 3 percent from a year ago, lead by sales of the handheld Nintendo DS, which sold 518,300 units, according to data from market researcher NPD Group."
The article goes on to say that even during the economic slump we are in, video game sales have stayed at a respectable level. However, this was the first single digit percentage growth for hardware in 27 months.
