6 of top 10 on 360. Hmmm.

Well Madden, Borderlands, FIFA and NHL appear to be in the right order.



Around the Network

Pswii slightly undertracked 360 slightly overtracked.
(This is considering that our number include 3 extra days 26th through 29th.
Ps3 might actually be perfect.

I'm pretty sure no one thinks the PS3 is THAT undertracked here.

Video game hardware saw the biggest decline, over 39 percent from last September. 2K Games' popular coop shooter sold 1.48 million units for the month, though it wasn't enough to stop Madden, which had the benefit of a full month of sales tracking.
