It’s that time again when corporate execs are held accountable for their actions, sales figures are calculated and the North American “digits” are revealed. It’s time for April NPD! W00t!

Last month’s video game competition was a heated race between Microsoft and Sony as the Xbox 360 was able to move 188,000 units narrowly beating out the PS3’s 187,100. That news on top of Microsoft announcing the 360’s 10 million U.S. milestone make it a pretty good month for team Microsoft. Though, Nintendo’s Wii continues to dominate even without Grand Theft Auto IV’s help moving an breathtaking 714,200 consoles. Talking of GTAIV, it rocked the final week of April selling a jaw-dropping 1.85 million units on the 360 alone which is almost double that of the 1 million units it sold on the PS3. And that’s always good to hear. Check the break for a complete rundown of the April NPD hardware and software data.
