Game research company NPD last week released the May U.S. game market Statistics report, although the Nintendo Wii is still leading the way, but based on the platform of game sales has been declining, Wedbushmogen securities analysts think that for the Wii is not a good sign,  The Wii may have been prematurely abandoned by game developers. Analyst Michael Pachter said: "May Wii platform game sales fell year-on-year 19%,ds game sales fell 23% year-on-year." In stark contrast, game sales for the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms have increased by 58% and 29%. Sales of platform games tend to reflect the sales trend of the host, with sales of PS3 and Xbox 360 rising by 60% and 32% in the past year respectively. However, the Nintendo Wii, DS in the game sales decline in the case of host sales still increased by 44% and 33%.  "He thinks the figures reflect two possibilities: one is that Nintendo currently offers games that don't meet the needs of its players, while Nintendo's host players don't have as much demand for games as PS3 and Xbox 360 players." Michael Pachter also said that although Wii sales will remain ahead of PS3 and Xbox 360, game sales on the Wii platform have been falling.
