July’s best-selling games were also a bit on the Bizzaro side — at least to me. A lot of games that have made the list for the last year were knocked off by newcomers. Check it out:
- NCAA Football 11 (Xbox 360): 368,000
- NCAA Football 11 (PS3): 298,000
- Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360): 208,800
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): 193,000
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Nintendo DS): 141,700
- Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360)
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Wii)
- Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (Nintendo DS)
- New Super Mario Bros Wii (Wii)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)
I’m so not interested in NCAA Football. That’s what I get for going to a Division III college with a crappy sports program. As a Harry Potter nerd, I’m pleased that the game is doing so well. As a fan of Japanese RPGs, I’m disappointed that Dragon Quest isn’t selling more — what’s wrong with you America?!? Despite the general disappointment in the game, Crackdown 2 made the top three.
Anything on July’s list surprise you? Out of curiosity, did any of you go to schools with legendary sports programs?
SMG2 still going strong along with NSMB. I can't belive those games are still going strong. I wish i could play Dragon Quest but i'm kind of tied up at the moment with ff13. I didn't go to a school with a football team. They are division I in baseball and basketball but not football because there isnt one. I guess that's what i get for going to the University of Illinois at Chicago. Go Flames!
I shouldn't be surprised but MW2 making the 10 spot says a lot. Same with CD2 #3?!?!? WTF!
Pitt FTW!
@n8r
i can't argue with that one, a lot of Chicago Bear greats have come out of Pitt. I'm sorry that Wannstedt is taking that program to the ground.
Starcraft 2 blew those games away though. Too bad NPD doesn't do computer titles.
MW2 is the only game on this list I am interested in, and I only want to finish the spec ops missions so my interest in it will be over soon enough hopefully.
@Bsukenyan;
Hit me up if you need someone to help you out with the spec-ops missions.

@Iceman
Once I rent that game or buy it…something…I will be sure to do that.
