NPD: February Top 20 Shows F.E.A.R. 2 Lurking, Halo 3 Return
NPD has given Gamasutra an extended chart of the top 20 U.S. console games for February 2009, revealing games lurking outside the top ten, plus the return of a notable classic that didn't see a top 20 spot last month.
Just missing the Top 10 in its first month of release was F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin on the Xbox 360, which likely sold marginally under the 136,000 that the tenth place game, Guitar Hero: World Tour for Wii did. (NPD does not give out sales numbers for positions 11 to 20.)
In addition, and intriguingly, Bungie's Halo 3 made a resurgence, possibly receiving a bounce from the recent Halo Wars release, and returning to the top 20 in the 15th spot.
Outside of our previously published top 10, the full list is as follows:
1. Wii Fit w/ Balance Board (Nintendo, Wii
2. Street Fighter IV (Capcom, Xbox 360)
3. Street Fighter IV (Capcom, PlayStation 3)
4. Wii Play w/Remote (Nintendo, Wii)
5. Killzone 2 (Sony, PlayStation 3)
6. Mario Kart w/Wheel (Nintendo, Wii)
7. Call Of Duty: World At War (Activision Blizzard, Xbox 360)
8. Mario Kart DS (Nintendo, DS)
9. New Super Mario Bros (Nintendo, DS)
10. Guitar Hero World Tour (Activision Blizzard, Wii)
11. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (Warner Interactive, Xbox 360)
12. Skate 2 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360)
13. Left 4 Dead (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360)
14. NBA 2K9 (Take-Two, Xbox 360)
15. Halo 3 (Microsoft, Xbox 360)
16. Call of Duty: World At War (Activision, PS3)
17. Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (LucasArts, Wii)
18. Guitar Hero: World Tour (Activision, Xbox 360)
19. My Fitness Coach (Ubisoft, Wii)
20. Fallout 3 (Bethesda Softworks, Xbox 360)
Gamasutra will be adding to its coverage of February's U.S. console game and hardware sales with its customary NPD analysis, which will debut on Monday.
