Now as these are the new and improved NPD reports take note that we only get the exact numbers for the top five games for the month instead of the usual Top Ten/Twenty figures.
Also note that when a game is launched on more than one platform and both SKUs make it into the top they each count as a seperate figure to report on so in truth we only really get numbers for the top three titles this month. Meaning that we don’t know exactly how much Alan Wake ended up selling in the first month of sales, only that it was below two hundred-thousand units. But at least it made the Top 10!
Hardware sales are same as they always are with Wii/DS looking a bit healthier than before while 360/PS3 sell at their usual paces and PSP…
Well at least PSP has Marcus. – The Ben
