While it seems to be encoded in our DNA to rag on Gamestop, the company is crowing today about record sales during the nine-week holiday season (November 2, 2008 thru January 3, 2009).
During that time period, the company recorded sales of $2.86 billion, which is a 22% increase over 2007's holiday sales of $2.33 billion.
According to Gamestop, hardware sales were lead by the Xbox 360 and the Wii. As far as games go, the company lists the following games as the top five:
Call of Duty: World at War (DS, PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
Guitar Hero: World Tour (PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC)
Wii Fit (Wii)
For those keeping score at home, not a single PS3-exclusive title made the list, nor was Sony's machine included in the leading hardware sales tally.
