News: But how many it sold, nobody knows.
The NPD Group has released their report on the bestselling games and consoles in September and Halo: Reach has taken the top spot.
This month's list marks a new direction for the monthly NPD numbers. The company will no longer release sales figures for any of the games in the top ten, nor will they rank console sales. They have also lumped the sales totals of each version of a game together, creating a list of the bestselling game titles instead of ranking individual game releases.
The combined sales might of
Madden NFL 11 across the PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360 gave it the second spot with fellow EA Sports titles
NHL 11 and
FIFA Soccer 11 at #4 and #5.
Other September releases that scored big sales include Capcom's
Dead Rising 2, Square Enix's
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Activision's
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
Here's the full list of the ten bestselling games in the month:
