Interactive Entertainment - Early 2002 Remains Strong With Solid February Comps Total video game retail dollar sales were up 44% in February and 23% YTD, according to NPD Funworld. The positive comps were due to strong sales of new platforms and triple-A titles. Software dollars rose 45% for the month and 22% YTD. The availability of compelling titles and strong hardware sales drove the solid comps. Hardware sales continued at a robust clip-- the PS2 sold 430,000 units in February, Xbox sold 143,000 and GameCube sold 80,000.
