The NPD figures are in and the top five best selling console games of 2008 (so far) have been decided.

None

GTA4, MGS4 and GT5:P on the PS3.

....

Quick question... what decides what games you review? What you get sent?

From that list I've got :
GTA IV (brother bought it last week, but it's not one I'll be playing as I'm not fussed on the GTA games),
Madden '09 (borrowed from a mate in work while he's in China)
Mario Kart and Wii Play

I bought Call of Duty 4 twice, don't own any of the others though.

Out of all 10 of those games (admittedly a fair bit of crossover of course) for 360 & PS3 there is *one* (Army of Two) which is not a sequel.... sad days?

Isnt NPD USA only ?

Last week there was a story about 6 Million Xbox 360's sold in Europe, and god knows how many wii's / PS3's. The owners of these must rack up some substantial software sales too.

NPD looks at console and software sales with one eye shut, and the other eye half covered with a patch.

I've got GTA4, MGS4 and COD4 all for ps3 hmm 4 seams to be the number to buy

Why can they port Metal Gear Solid 4 for PC?

I just recently got a 360 so I only have GTA4 off of that list. I can't bring myself to buy COD4 on a console and the PC version is still too expensive.

You should note that these numbers are only for North America.

i think the ratio a few months ago was 5.5 games per xbox sold

Army of Two *love*

So no exclusives on 360's list? Was it possible for there to be? Is that a bad thing?
