NBA Baller Beats sells 3,000 in first month

The beats are beat but the only other NBA game in town is doing quite well. Publisher Majesco's Kinect-enabled basketball-handling game NBA Baller Beats sold only 3,000 copies in the U.S. in its release month of September, the NPD industry research group told Joystiq.

In other basketball gaming news, 2K Sports' NBA 2K13 sold 49 percent more in its first week than previous franchise record-holder NBA 2K11 did, IGN reports. NBA Live, its former competition from EA Sports, is taking another year off for quality concerns.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
