Here are NPD Group’s console software sales figures for May 2010. There were a lot of great releases in May, which is traditionally a slow month for the business. Some of your favorites made the list and there were a few surprises as well. Let’s check out the digits!
- Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360): 945,900
- Red Dead Redemption (PS3): 567,100
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): 563,000
- UFC 2010: Undisputed (Xbox 360): 221,100
- UFC 2010: Undisputed (PS3): 192,300
- Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board (Wii)
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
- Alan Wake (Xbox 360)
- Pokemon SoulSilver (Nintendo DS)
- Skate 3 (Xbox 360)
Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m used to seeing more Nintendo games in the top 10. Ha! Obviously Red Dead Redemption was May’s killer title. UFC 2010 did well, which shouldn’t be a surprise. I was happy to see games like Alan Wake and Skate 3 on the list; they didn’t get as much hype and commercial time as some of May’s other titles, but they did well. Naturally, Nintendo continued to do well with Mario and Pokemon.
Anything on May’s list surprise you?
I'm actually surprised Alan Wake made the top 10.
The wii fit plus with balance board. Wasnt that released last year?? At least just dance isnt on the list anymore.
Im surprised that Skate 3 cracked the Top 10, I wasn't to fond of the demo at PAX or on XBL.
