The NPD Group has released its numbers for console and software sales for both December and 2007 as a whole. The good news is that 2007 was a huge year for gaming: sales are up 43 percent from 2006, with $17.94 billion in sales in 2007 compared to $12.53 billion in 2006. "While hardware sales realized the greatest percentage growth over 2006 due to the closely scrutinized console hardware transition, each category under the video games industry umbrella reached their own 'personal bests' in terms of annual sales," NPD analyst Anita Frazier wrote. Let's take a look at how each company did.
