Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has revealed via Twitter that both console and handheld software sales were the lowest since May 2000. Nintendo of America announced earlier today that the Nintendo 3DS was the best-selling video game platform in North America during May. Sounds as though it was another terrible month for North American video game retailers.

“I can’t/won’t publish any data from the NPD, but found it interesting that software sales for console/handheld were lowest since May 2000”
