hard to read anything into it, but let me try a positive spin: 9 out of the top10 games are available on Xbox 360 - more than on any other platform

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

We had Fable III around 900k so we look low on the NBA game to me (although it may have done well on PC?). Should be a large drop off after Fable III.

Everything looks about the same as our numbers. Without looking at Wii, PC and DS numbers for NBA, looks like we have that much much lower than NPD. And we have MOH above Fallout, but without PC sales it's hard to gauge.

The overall order looks pretty spot on though, well done VGChartz!
