Nintendo Co. retained its lead in U.S. video-game console sales with 721,000 Wii players purchased in stores last month, according to NPD Group Inc. Retailers sold 262,000 Xbox 360 consoles by Microsoft Corp. in March and 257,000 of Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3. Sales of games rose 63 percent, Port Washington, New York-based NPD said today in an e-mailed statement.
