U.S. video game sales jumped 25 percent in June, hitting $844.5 million, according to Reuters. The article seems to be crediting Nintendo's DS and DS Lite as well as the craptacular game Cars for a bulk of the bump.

Nintendo's DS and DS Lite were the top-selling portable in June, with gamers buying almost 600,000 of the portables in the month. While Nintendo raked in the portable cash, Cars managed to outsell the two devices, with THQ clearing more than 646,000 copies of the games from store shelves. Brian Crecente
