Sales for videogames were down 19% from the month for September. Plus the release of the biggest PS3 exclusive of the year wasn’t enough to keep the PS3 at the top. It’s not all bad news though!
Hardware:The Wii retook the top spot in sales this week kicking the PlayStation 3 down to the third spot followed by the Xbox 360. No surprise there as the Wii dropped to $199.
Software:No surprise here either asUncharted 2was the number one selling game of October. Of note is that Take-Two had three of the top ten selling games last month,Borderlandsfor the Xbox 360 andNBA 2K10for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Sadly,Brutal Legenddidn’t even make the top ten sellers.
Prediction:Modern Warfare 2will be the number one selling game for November. That’s a big “no duh”, I know. Also, the DS/DSi will be the number one seller for hardware once again for the Holiday season.
